Functions that are annotated __exit are discarded for built-in drivers,
but the .remove callback in a device driver must still be kept around
to allow bind/unbind operations.
There is now a linker warning for the discarded symbol references:
`tmc_remove' referenced in section `.data' of drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-core.o: defined in discarded section `.exit.text' of drivers/hwtracing/coresight/coresight-tmc-core.o

Remove all those annotations.

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.
