Subject: [PATCH 3/2] Driver core: move platform device creation helpers to .init.text (if MODULE=n)

Platform devices should only be called by init code, so it should be
possible to move creation helpers to .init.text -- at least if modules
are disabled.

Hello,

for a x64_64_defconfig with CONFIG_MODULES disabled this introduces two new
section mismatches.  I already sent patches for those[1].

Best regards
Uwe
