The table of devicetree identifiers is annotated as __initconst
indicating that it can be discarded after kernel boot but it is
referenced from the driver struct which has no init annotation leading
to a linker warning:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.data+0x82d58): Section mismatch in reference from the variable bcm_iproc_gpio_driver to the variable .init.rodata:bcm_iproc_gpio_of_match
The variable bcm_iproc_gpio_driver references
the variable __initconst bcm_iproc_gpio_of_match

Since drivers can be probed after init the lack of annotation on the
driver struct is correct so remove the annotation from the match table.

Thanks for picking this up

Is it worth including 'Fixes: 6a41b6c5fc20 ("gpio: Add xgs-iproc

Thank you for the patch! Without this patch, I had encountered another
issue which my environment caused a panic when I tried to install a usb host
driver after booted [1]. But, I could resolved the issue after
I applied this patch. Also, I confirmed this patch could resolved the warning.

I guess that kernelci failure[1] wasn't bogus after all. Sorry again
for the hassle. And Mark, Yoshihiro thanks for the fix and test.

Thanks for the follow-up, I'll re-enable bisections in
lab-theobroma-systems then.

It's actually pretty hard to get false positives from this
automated bisection thanks to some checks run on the commit
found, to verify it does cause a boot failure and also verify
that when reverted the problem goes away.  This was a good
example :)

Oh thanks a LOT Mark!

Hurriedly applied this with the ACKs and pushed out so
linux-next starts working.

Quite interesting bug, I guess I'll comment on it in the other
thread.
