If you apply it, please notice that I fat-fingered the parameters to git send-email and it was sent in a thread.

As described in the added code comment, a reference to .exit.text is ok for drivers registered via module_platform_driver_probe(). Make this explicit to prevent the following section mismatch warning WARNING: modpost: drivers/input/mouse/amimouse: section mismatch in reference: amimouse_driver+0x8 (section: .data) -> amimouse_remove (section: .exit.text) that triggers on an allmodconfig W=1 build.
