Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [RFC] iommu: io-pgtable-arm-v7s: avoid gcc-16.0.1 section mismatch

From: Arnd Bergmann <[email-masked]>

gcc-16 has gained some more advanced inlining techniques that enable
it to inline the dummy_tlb_add_page() and dummy_tlb_flush() function
pointers into a specialized version of __arm_v7s_unmap:

WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: section mismatch in reference: __arm_v7s_unmap+0x2cc (section: .text) -> dummy_tlb_add_page (section: .init.text)

>From what I can tell, the transformation is correct, as this
is only called when __arm_v7s_unmap() is called from
arm_v7s_do_selftests(), which is also __init.

I have not come up with a good workaround, so this simply marks
dummy_tlb_add_page() as not __init. Since there are currently only two
files where this happens, that may be an easy way out.

If anyone has a better idea for how to deal with that, let me know!
