The error you are seeing and the patch you provided below have no
correlation.

You can make this __initdata instead - assuming its okay to have this
memory discarded at init.

Same here. You can make this __initdata.

Please send a formal patch for the errors you have seen.

Okay. Can you take this up in this series? I understand you may not have
an tnetv107x board, but at least you can get to a series that builds.

Even if you choose to do just option #2, I am OK. What I really want to
see is inline API gone completely (not just remain largely unused). This
will also help you avoid exposing internal data structures like
davinci_gpio_controller exposed to the whole kernel. The worse part
right now is you have two copies of the same structure exposed globally
from two different include folders.
