I freely confess that I have no idea what any of these error messages
are trying to tell me. What is ".init.txt.L0"? How did my patch affect
ieee802154_iface_init() or the register_netdevice_notifier() function
that it invokes? For that matter, how did my patch cause an access to
be made to __init data from a non-__init function?

Thanx, Paul

Hi Paul,

Sorry for the inconvenience, only below warning was triggered by the commit:

>> All warnings (new ones prefixed by >>, old ones prefixed by <<):
>>
>>>> WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0xbcac06): Section mismatch in
reference from the function ieee802154_iface_init() to the variable
.init.text:.L0

the others are for reference only:
>> Note: the below error/warnings can be found in parent commit

The problem has existed for some time before your patch, we'll add it to
ignore list to avoid noise.

Thank you for getting back to me.

Very well, I will ignore subsequent errors that look like this. ;-)

Thanx, Paul
