It is still declared as a module_platform_driver... From changelog I can
understand that you are changing init level from subsys to module (in
fact clocks should be moved up as arch level and dmaengine users as
module) ...

But why remove __init declaration from these? Whatever purpose that may
solve needs to be documented in changelog and perhaps a different patch
