[SERIAL]: Fix section mismatches in Sun serial console drivers.
We're exporting an __init function, oops :-) The core issue here is that add_preferred_console() is marked as __init, this makes it impossible to invoke this thing from a driver probe routine which is what the Sparc serial drivers need to do. There is no harm in dropping the __init marker. This code will actually work properly when invoked from a modular driver, except that init will probably not pick up the console change without some other support code. Then we can drop the __init from sunserial_console_match() and we're no longer exporting an __init function to modules. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
