Subject: [RESEND/UPDATED patch 2.6.25] smc91x section fix

From: David Brownell <dbrownell@...rs.sourceforge.net>

Section fixup:

  WARNING: drivers/net/built-in.o(.text+0x1a2c): Section mismatch
	in reference from the function smc_drv_probe()
	to the function .init.text:smc_probe()
  The function smc_drv_probe() references
  the function __init smc_probe().
  This is often because smc_drv_probe lacks a __init
  annotation or the annotation of smc_probe is wrong.

Also switch to platform_driver_probe(), and mark exit code as such.
Total footprint shrinkage is about 2KB on ARMv5.

Note that few platform devices are actually hotpluggable, and these
smc devices are evidently not exceptions to that rule ... else there
would have been oopsing in this driver from the smc_probe() problem.

Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@...rs.sourceforge.net>
---
Changes since earlier version:  use platform_driver_probe(), add
the __exit annotations, not how we can know this driver doesn't
need to use hotplug-supporting "__devinit" annotations.
