Subject: drivers/net: fix eisa_driver probe section mismatch

From: Fabian Frederick <[email protected]>

commit cb4396edd84ed73081635fb933d19c1410fafaf4 upstream.

Some eisa_driver structures used __init probe functions which generates a warning and could crash if function is called after being deleted.
