Subject: [PATCH 2/2] can: pch_can: fix section mismatch warning by using a whitelisted name

This patch fixes the following section mismatch warning:

WARNING: drivers/net/can/pch_can.o(.data+0x18):
Section mismatch in reference from the variable pch_can_pcidev
to the variable .devinit.rodata:pch_pci_tbl
The variable pch_can_pcidev references
the variable __devinitconst pch_pci_tbl

This is actually a false positive which is fixed by giving the offending
variable a whitelisted name, it's renamed to "pch_can_pci_driver".
This makes sense because the variable is of the type "struct pci_driver".
