Please add to patch header: 

Newer asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h provides a DATA_DATA macro which defines
the content of what is normally referred to by *(.data). It permits
adding more "subsections" (declared by gcc with the section attribute or
in assembly), whichwill be linked in the .data section.
