Commit 6a41b6c5fc20 ("gpio: Add xgs-iproc driver") introduced a new GPIO driver for the Broadcom GPIO controller. When this driver is built as a module the following warning is observed because the bcm_iproc_gpio_of_match structure is defined with the __initconst attribute ... MODPOST vmlinux.o WARNING: vmlinux.o(.data+0x834d0): Section mismatch in reference from the variable bcm_iproc_gpio_driver to the variable .init.rodata:bcm_iproc_gpio_of_match The variable bcm_iproc_gpio_driver references the variable __initconst bcm_iproc_gpio_of_match This then causes a translation fault on boot which and results in a system crash. Fix this by dropping the __initconst attribute from the bcm_iproc_gpio_of_match structure.
