With transition to configfs all those __inits and __refs will probably
go away in the long term though.

It should be.  It's only referenced in multi_driver object as a bind
callback which is called by composite_bind() which is referenced in
composite_driver_template as bind callback which is called by
usb_gadget_probe_driver() which is called by usb_composite_probe() which
is called by multi_init() which is __init and called as module_init.
