From my build.log:

drivers/net/irda/smsc-ircc2.o(.data+0x18): Section mismatch in reference from the variable smsc_ircc_pnp_driver to the function .init.text:smsc_ircc_pnp_probe()
The variable smsc_ircc_pnp_driver references
the function __init smsc_ircc_pnp_probe()
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __init* or __refdata (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console,

This patch fixes the warning.

Tested with linux-next (next-20101231)

Just like your other patch, this fix is not correct.

Mark smsc_ircc_pbp_probe() as __devinit instead of __init to fix
this bug.
