i2c: remove __init from i2c_register_board_info()
commit 5abe9b26847c65a698f38744a52635b287514294 upstream.
As of next-20160607 with allyesconfig we get this linker failure:
MODPOST vmlinux.o
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x21bc0d): Section mismatch in reference from
the function intel_scu_devices_create() to the function
.init.text:i2c_register_board_info()
This is caused by the fact that intel_scu_devices_create() calls
i2c_register_board_info() and intel_scu_devices_create() is not
annotated with __init. This typically involves manual code
inspection and if one is certain this is correct we would
just peg intel_scu_devices_create() with a __ref annotation.
In this case this would be wrong though as the
intel_scu_devices_create() call is exported, and used in
the ipc_probe() on drivers/platform/x86/intel_scu_ipc.c.
The issue is that even though builtin_pci_driver(ipc_driver)
is used this just exposes the probe routine, which can occur
at any point in time if this bus supports hotplug. A race
can happen between kernel_init_freeable() that calls the init
calls (in this case registeres the intel_scu_ipc.c driver, and
later free_initmem(), which would free the i2c_register_board_info().
If a probe happens later in boot i2c_register_board_info() would
not be present and we should get a page fault.
