Warnings I get:

WARNING: drivers/usb/host/xhci-hcd.o(.init.text+0x3b): Section mismatch 
in reference from the function init_module() to the function 
.exit.text:xhci_unregister_pci()
The function __init init_module() references
a function __exit xhci_unregister_pci().
This is often seen when error handling in the init function
uses functionality in the exit path.
The fix is often to remove the __exit annotation of
xhci_unregister_pci() so it may be used outside an exit section.

WARNING: drivers/usb/gadget/g_audio.o(.init.text+0x612): Section 
mismatch in reference from the function afunc_bind() to the function 
.devexit.text:snd_uac2_remove()
The function __init afunc_bind() references
a function __devexit snd_uac2_remove().
This is often seen when error handling in the init function
uses functionality in the exit path.
The fix is often to remove the __devexit annotation of
snd_uac2_remove() so it may be used outside an exit section.

WARNING: drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/s626.o(.text+0x255a): Section 
mismatch in reference from the function s626_attach() to the variable 
.devinit.rodata:s626_pci_table
The function s626_attach() references
the variable __devinitconst s626_pci_table.
This is often because s626_attach lacks a __devinitconst
annotation or the annotation of s626_pci_table is wrong.

WARNING: drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/s626.o(.text+0x2560): Section 
mismatch in reference from the function s626_attach() to the variable 
.devinit.rodata:s626_pci_table
The function s626_attach() references
the variable __devinitconst s626_pci_table.
This is often because s626_attach lacks a __devinitconst
annotation or the annotation of s626_pci_table is wrong.

n reference from the function s626_attach() to the variable 
.devinit.rodata:s626_pci_table
The function s626_attach() references

This is often because s626_attach lacks a __devinitconst
annotation or the annotation of s626_pci_table is wrong.
