I'm not an ELF expert, but simply checking all __init functions in this
files finds that this seems to be the following:

<-- snip -->

...
static struct acpi_driver asus_hotk_driver = {
.name = ACPI_HOTK_NAME,
.class = ACPI_HOTK_CLASS,
.ids = ACPI_HOTK_HID,
.ops = {
.add = asus_hotk_add,
.remove = asus_hotk_remove,
},
};
...
static int __init asus_hotk_add(struct acpi_device *device)
...

<-- snip -->
