Yes, but that is not the issue. The issue is that the section extern has no place in a driver, this is precisely what asm/sections.h is for. Only microblaze and sh define it there today, and there is already inconsistency. Having the others define it for themselves and agreeing on a type would permit us to kill it off from the driver. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
