All warnings (new ones prefixed by >>, old ones prefixed by <<):

>> WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x4fc818): Section mismatch in reference from the function sonic_get_stats() to the function .init.text:set_reset_devices()
The function sonic_get_stats() references
the function __init set_reset_devices().
This is often because sonic_get_stats lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of set_reset_devices is wrong.

Note: the below error/warnings can be found in parent commit:
<< WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x4fc860): Section mismatch in reference from the function xtsonic_device_remove() to the function .init.text:set_reset_devices()
