BUG : drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/cb_pcidio.o linking error

[Aioanei Rares]

Trying to compile the latest git kernel pulled today (16.09) greeted me 
with this error :

BUILD   arch/x86/boot/bzImage
Root device is (8, 2)
Setup is 13996 bytes (padded to 14336 bytes).
System is 2381 kB
CRC bfd3396b
Kernel: arch/x86/boot/bzImage is ready  (#7)
Building modules, stage 2.
MODPOST 1250 modules
WARNING: drivers/staging/comedi/drivers/cb_pcidio.o(.text+0xe5): Section 
mismatch in reference from the function pcidio_attach() to the variable 
.devinit.rodata:pcidio_pci_table
The function pcidio_attach() references
the variable __devinitconst pcidio_pci_table.
This is often because pcidio_attach lacks a __devinitconst
annotation or the annotation of pcidio_pci_table is wrong.

ERROR: "per_cpu__cpu_llc_id" [drivers/edac/edac_core.ko] undefined!
