Byt they don't cause any real problem either, or am I missing
something?

I tend to reject the patch.

> -init_fnc_t *init_sequence[] = {

The original idea of having such a list  of  funtion  pointers  which
just  get executed one after another was to be able to wrap this into
some "#ifndef CONFIG_INIT_SEQUENCE" and use this to allow for  board-
specific init sequences by just adding a #define with the needed list
of functions to the board config files.

Even though this feature never was used so far, I still  hesitate  to
throw  it away - at least as long as I don't see benefits for the new
solution.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
