Oh, I just noticed that this patch is a relict.  The driver was changed
to use platform_driver_probe in
864e28b4f24106b799e991fa136fa6fa2b638a68.

As my old patch just applied anyhow I didn't notice that.

And I just found another similar problem.
E.g. clevo_mail_led_probe is defined to live in .init.text and uses
platform_driver_probe, but as it's referenced in the driver struct my
script matched this file.

(Is it wrong (wrong as in "worth to be fixed") to reference the probe
function in the driver struct when platform_driver_probe is used?  If so
at least

	drivers/serial/msm_serial.c
	drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-imx.c

are effected, too.  Patches at

	http://news.gmane.org/find-root.php?group=gmane.linux.ports.arm.kernel&article=62319

)

The other patches are not affected.

@Greg:  Please just drop these two patches:

	[PATCH] move omap_udc's probe function to .devinit.text
	[PATCH] move leds-clevo-mail's probe function to .devinit.text

Sorry for the unconvenience.

Best regards
Uwe
