![]() On today's platforms the memory savings of putting the remove function in .exit isn't that relevant any more. It only matters for built-in drivers and typically saves a few 100k. The downside is that the driver cannot be unbound at runtime which is ancient and also slightly complicates testing. Also it requires to mark the driver struct with __refdata which is needed to suppress a (W=1) modpost warning: WARNING: modpost: drivers/video/fbdev/omap2/omapfb/displays/panel-sharp-ls037v7dw01: section mismatch in reference: sharp_ls_driver+0x4 (section: .data) -> sharp_ls_remove (section: .exit.text) To simplify matters, move the remove callback to .text and drop .suppress_bind_attrs = true.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
