This reverts commit da788acb28386aa896224e784954bb73c99ff26c.

That commit tried to fix the section mismatch warning by moving the
ppc_corenet_clk_driver struct to init section. This is definitely wrong
because the kernel would free the memories occupied by this struct
after boot while this driver is still registered in the driver core.
The kernel would panic when accessing this driver struct.

Cc: <redacted> # 3.17

I don't see stable@vger.kernel.org in the actual CC list.

With the above cc tag, Won't this get automatically included in the stable
tree once it is merged into mainline? As I know, we only need to explicitly
send the patch to stable@vger.kernel.org only when that patch was already
merged into mainline without the corresponding cc stable tag and we also want
the stable tree include it. Did I miss something?

Thanks,
Kevin
