While compiling the latest linus tree I got the following error:

rivers/net/sis190.c:329: error: sis190_pci_tbl causes a section type conflict
make[2]: *** [drivers/net/sis190.o] Error 1

And after some modification and successful compilation, the following
warnings appeared:

WARNING: drivers/net/sis190.o(.text+0xdc): Section mismatch in
reference from the function sis190_get_mac_addr() to the function
.devinit.text:sis190_get_mac_addr_from_apc()
The function  sis190_get_mac_addr() references
the function __devinit sis190_get_mac_addr_from_apc().
This is often because sis190_get_mac_addr lacks a __devinit
annotation or the annotation of sis190_get_mac_addr_from_apc is wrong.

WARNING: drivers/net/sis190.o(.text+0xe7): Section mismatch in
reference from the function sis190_get_mac_addr() to the function
.devinit.text:sis190_get_mac_addr_from_eeprom()
The function  sis190_get_mac_addr() references
the function __devinit sis190_get_mac_addr_from_eeprom().
This is often because sis190_get_mac_addr lacks a __devinit
annotation or the annotation of sis190_get_mac_addr_from_eeprom is wrong.

The following patch is to fix the above problems - please comment:
