MODPOST warnings on ppc64le

[Roman Bolshakov]

Hello,

I'm seeing a set of build warnings on the 5.5-rc1 kernel:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x31e4): Section mismatch in reference from the variable __boot_from_prom to the function .init.text:prom_init()
The function __boot_from_prom() references
the function __init prom_init().
This is often because __boot_from_prom lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of prom_init is wrong.

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x33c8): Section mismatch in reference from the variable start_here_common to the function .init.text:start_kernel()
The function start_here_common() references
the function __init start_kernel().
This is often because start_here_common lacks a __init
annotation or the annotation of start_kernel is wrong.

There was a patch sent a year ago that addresses the issue:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/895442/

What's the fate of it? Could it be merged?

Thank you,
Roman
