From: Fabian Frederick fabf@skynet.be Date: Sat, 12 Dec 2015 18:24:38 +0100 Subject: drivers/net: fix eisa_driver probe section mismatch
From: Fabian Frederick fabf@skynet.be
commit cb4396edd84ed73081635fb933d19c1410fafaf4 upstream.
Some eisa_driver structures used __init probe functions which generates a warning and could crash if function is called after being deleted.
