Hi Mark,

Axel Lin reported the same problem and I fixed the below code earlier
today by using the correct __attribute__((unused)) and dropping the
section magic for the non-OF case. My patch now looks contains the
change below. I also proposed a fix for the clocksource driver
at http://lkml.org/lkml/2013/3/26/103.
