Hi Rajneesh,

Unfortunately during my build test, this introduced a new warning to the build:

drivers/platform/x86/intel_pmc_core.c:201:19: warning: ‘intel_pmc_core_init’
defined but not used [-Wunused-function]
static int __init intel_pmc_core_init(void)

After the removal of the module stuff, the driver needed a device_initcall, or
the macro equivalent, consider:

$ git diff
diff --git a/drivers/platform/x86/intel_pmc_core.c b/drivers/platform/x86/intel_pmc_core.c
index c834281..f6a29b9 100644
--- a/drivers/platform/x86/intel_pmc_core.c
+++ b/drivers/platform/x86/intel_pmc_core.c
@@ -198,7 +198,4 @@ static struct pci_driver intel_pmc_core_driver = {
.remove = NULL, /* not a hot-plug capable driver */
};

-static int __init intel_pmc_core_init(void)
-{

-}
+builtin_pci_driver(intel_pmc_core_driver);
