Subject: [PATCH 4.19 47/50] acpi/arm64: fix next_platform_timer() section mismatch error

From: Jackie Liu <liuyun01@...inos.cn>

commit 596143e3aec35c93508d6b7a05ddc999ee209b61 upstream.

Fix modpost Section mismatch error in next_platform_timer().

  [...]
  WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text.unlikely+0x26e60): Section mismatch in reference from the function next_platform_timer() to the variable .init.data:acpi_gtdt_desc
  The function next_platform_timer() references
  the variable __initdata acpi_gtdt_desc.
  This is often because next_platform_timer lacks a __initdata
  annotation or the annotation of acpi_gtdt_desc is wrong.
