[PATCH 18/19] kbuild: remove hardcoded _logo names from modpost

Subject: [PATCH 18/19] kbuild: remove hardcoded _logo names from modpost
From: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>
Date: Sun, 3 Jun 2007 00:47:53 +0200

Replaced this with a __init_refok marker
in front of fb_find_logo().

I think that the __initdata marker for the logo's are
wrong but I have not justified this so I did not remove it.
