modpost: always show verbose warning for section mismatch
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Unless CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH is enabled, modpost only shows
the number of section mismatches.

If you want to know the symbols causing the issue, you need to rebuild
with CONFIG_DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH. It is tedious.

I think it is fine to show annoying warning when a new section mismatch
comes in.
