The sys_timer init function is only called at __init time, so it's safe to mark mv78xx0_timer_init as __init_refok, which allows us to call orion_time_init without getting a link time warning.
Without this patch, building mv78xx0_defconfig results in: WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x15470): Section mismatch in reference from the function mv78xx0_timer_init() to the function .init.text:orion_time_init() The function mv78xx0_timer_init() references the function __init orion_time_init(). This is often because mv78xx0_timer_init lacks a __init annotation or the annotation of orion_time_init is wrong.
