[PATCH] s1d13xxxfb linkage fix
s1d13xxxfb_remove() is referenced from s1d13xxxfb_probe(), which is marked
__devinit(). So s1d13xxxfb_remove() cannot be marked __devexit.
Does this all make sense? Clearly the __devexit section will still be in
core when the __devinit code is run, if the driver was loaded as a module.
But I suppose that if the driver is statically linked, the __devexit section
might be dropped early in boot. Still, we wouldn't drop __devexit prior to
initcall completion, at which point the __devinit code has all been run
anyway.
verdict: this code was legal and made sense. Is this a generic problem, or an
arm-specific problem?
