Looks like a bug where __initdata has been used
for const data.
Searching:
static int __devinit sis190_get_mac_addr_from_apc(struct pci_dev *pdev,
                                                  struct net_device *dev)
{
        static const u16 __devinitdata ids[] = { 0x0965, 0x0966, 0x0968 };
        struct sis190_private *tp = netdev_priv(dev);
        struct pci_dev *isa_bridge;
        u8 reg, tmp8;

Try to change this is __initconst and it should be fixed.
