When taking an address of an extern array, gcc quite naturally should be able to say "an address of an object can never be NULL" and just optimize away the test entirely. However, the new alternate sysrq reset code (commit 154b7a489a5b: "Input: sysrq - allow specifying alternate reset sequence") did exactly that, and declared platform_sysrq_reset_seq[] as a weak array, and expecting that testing the address of the array would show whether it actually got linked against something or not. And that doesn't work with all gcc versions. Clearly it works with *some* versions of gcc, and maybe it's even supposed to work, but it really is a very fragile concept. So instead of testing the address of the weak variable, just create a weak instance of that array that is empty. If some platform then has a real platform_sysrq_reset_seq[] that overrides our weak one, the linker will switch to that one, and it all works without any run-time conditionals at all.
