Hmm. I don't see any caller at all. From the intention of the patch I assume this isn't designed for using from init functions, so we rather have to remove the __init annotations from the called functions. Sudeep posted a patch which does that: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Though I rather would know whether this function is going to be used at all and what the intention of this patch was. Benjamin???? Thanks, tglx
