Subject: [PATCH] misc: atmel-ssc: Fix section annotation on atmel_ssc_get_driver_data

After building the kernel with Clang, the following section mismatch
warning appears:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x3bf19a6): Section mismatch in reference from
the function ssc_probe() to the function
.init.text:atmel_ssc_get_driver_data()
The function ssc_probe() references
the function __init atmel_ssc_get_driver_data().
This is often because ssc_probe lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of atmel_ssc_get_driver_data is wrong.

Remove __init from atmel_ssc_get_driver_data to get rid of the mismatch.

Signed-off-by: Nathan Chancellor <natechancellor@...il.com>

Alternatively, ssc_probe could be marked as __init, I don't think there
is any way for the probe to defer. I decided to go with the more
conservative option first but I'm happy to respin if necessary.

Thanks!
