Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.8 04/15] OSS: dmasound/paula: Mark driver struct with __refdata to prevent section mismatch

From: Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@...gutronix.de>

[ Upstream commit 755795cd3da053b0565085d9950c44d7b6cba5c4 ]

As described in the added code comment, a reference to .exit.text is ok
for drivers registered via module_platform_driver_probe(). Make this
explicit to prevent the following section mismatch warning

	WARNING: modpost: sound/oss/dmasound/dmasound_paula: section mismatch in reference: amiga_audio_driver+0x8 (section: .data) -> amiga_audio_remove (section: .exit.text)

that triggers on an allmodconfig W=1 build.
