Subject: [PATCH 3.16 185/305] misc: atmel-ssc: Fix section annotation on
 atmel_ssc_get_driver_data

3.16.63-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nathan Chancellor <natechancellor@...il.com>

commit 7c97301285b62a41d6bceded7d964085fc8cc50f upstream.

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.
