Hello,

This series is based on commit
320475fbd590 Merge tag 'mtd/fixes-for-6.17-rc6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mtd/linux
of Mainline Linux.

The first patch in the series has been posted as a Fix in contrast to
its predecessor at:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250903124505.365913-10-s-vadapalli@ti.com/
based on the feedback provided by Jiri Slaby <jirislaby@kernel.org> at:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/3d3a4b52-e343-42f3-9d69-94c259812143@kernel.org/
Since the Fix is independent of enabling loadable module support for the
pci-keystone.c driver, it is being posted as a new patch.

Checking out at the commit of Mainline Linux which this series is based
on, I noticed an exception triggered by the pci-keystone.c driver during
its probe. Although this is not a fatal exception and Linux continues to
boot, the driver is non-functional. I root-caused the exception to
free_initmem() freeing the memory associated with the ks_pcie_host_init()
function in the driver before the driver's probe was invoked. This
appears to be a race condition but it is easily reproducible with the
Linux .config that I have used. The fix therefore is to remove the
__init macro which is implemented by the second patch in the series.

For reference, the logs for the case where Linux is built by checking
out at the base commit of Mainline Linux are:
https://gist.github.com/Siddharth-Vadapalli-at-TI/f4891b707921c53dfb464ad2f3a968bf
and the logs clearly prove that the print associated with free_initmem()
which is:
[    2.446834] Freeing unused kernel memory: 4864K
is displayed prior to the prints associated with the pci-keystone.c
driver being probed which is:
[    7.707103] keystone-pcie 5500000.pcie: host bridge /bus@100000/pcie@5500000 ranges:

Building Linux by applying both patches in the series on the base commit of
Mainline Linux, the driver probes successfully without any exceptions or
errors. This was tested on AM654-EVM with an NVMe SSD connected to the
PCIe Connector on the board. The NVMe SSD enumerates successfully.
Additionally, the 'hdparm' utility was used to read from the SSD
confirming that the SSD is functional. The logs corresponding to this are:
