Subject: [PATCH] staging: ram_console: Fix section mismatches

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x25d5fc): Section mismatch in reference
from the function ram_console_driver_probe() to the function
.init.text:ram_console_init()
The function ram_console_driver_probe() references
the function __init ram_console_init().
This is often because ram_console_driver_probe lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of ram_console_init is wrong.

Mark ram_console_driver_probe() as __devinit because it's a probe
function and propagate the __devinit markings to the __init
functions the probe calls.

Can we merge this patch too? Maybe we can get rid of the 
lateinit call too?
