For the record, I cannot reproduce this on mainline, which has commits
34dc2efb39a2 ("memblock: fix section mismatch warning") and a024b7c2850d
("mm: memblock: fix section mismatch warning again"). That first commit
has the same exact warning as this report, which is against an Android
tree (android12-trusty-5.10).

While I do not see the commit that 34dc2efb39a2 claims to fix in
android12-trusty-5.10, I do see the three commits in android12-5.10:

a46e3fa13968 ("UPSTREAM: mm: memblock: drop __init from memblock functions to make it inline")
5f7ec0f4c383 ("UPSTREAM: memblock: fix section mismatch warning")
8cf5bb6946a2 ("UPSTREAM: mm: memblock: fix section mismatch warning again")

I think we can just discard this report for now, unless someone from
Google's trusty team wants to address it in that branch.

Cheers,
Nathan
