It turns out that const and __{dev}initdata cannot be mixed currently and that generic IDE PCI host driver is also affected by the same issue: On Thursday 25 October 2007, Ralf Baechle wrote: > CC drivers/ide/pci/generic.o > drivers/ide/pci/generic.c:52: error: __setup_str_ide_generic_all_on causes a > +section type conflict [ Also reported by Martijn Uffing <mp3project@sarijopen.student.utwente.nl>. ] This patch workarounds the problem in a bit hackish way but without removing const from generic_chipsets[] (it adds const to __setup() so __setup_str_ide_generic_all becomes const). Now all __{dev}initdata data in generic IDE PCI host driver are read-only so it builds again (driver's .init.data section gets marked as READONLY).
