[patch 2.6.28-rc5] mfd da903x: section fix

From: David Brownell

From: David Brownell <dbrownell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This fixes the following section warning:

WARNING: vmlinux.o(.devinit.text+0x3d36): Section mismatch in reference from the function
da903x_add_subdevs() to the function .devexit.text:da903x_remove_subdevs()
The function __devinit da903x_add_subdevs() references
a function __devexit da903x_remove_subdevs().
This is often seen when error handling in the init function
uses functionality in the exit path.
The fix is often to remove the __devexit annotation of
da903x_remove_subdevs() so it may be used outside an exit section.

It might be nice to have an "init and exit" section annotation for such
cases; in this case the waste is only about 40 bytes (x86 test build).
