I've contemplated applying that patch but I'm not sure it is actually a
good idea because those 46 drivers are using a variant of module_driver
which actually uses __init and __exit. After your patch it is still
working simply because init.h gets included that way:

linux/module.h:9
linux/list.h:8
linux/kernel.h:13
linux/printk.h:5
