I have taken a look at natsemi.c.
Following patch fixes the error:
diff --git a/drivers/net/natsemi.c b/drivers/net/natsemi.c
index 7826afb..a36a15e 100644
--- a/drivers/net/natsemi.c
+++ b/drivers/net/natsemi.c
@@ -372,7 +372,7 @@ enum pcistuff {
static const struct {
const char *name;
unsigned long flags;
-} natsemi_pci_info[] __devinitdata = {
+} natsemi_pci_info[] /*__devinitdata*/ = {
{ "NatSemi DP8381[56]", PCI_IOTYPE },
};
The reason why gcc barfs over it seems to be conflicting sections
between the function natsemi_probe1() where natsemi_pci_info[] is used
and the section of natsemi_pci_info.
But putting them in same section did not help.
I'm a bit puzzeled what is going on. Randy - any insight in this?
