This is not a good compatible string. There should generally be a vendor
name associated with it (use "linux," if nothing else, and you should have
'-' instead of '_'.

This may easily conflict with the device it is part of. We should have
non-overlapping register areas in general. For the example you are
looking at, which register block is this?

The variable seems to always be unused, not just "__maybe_unused". Maybe remove it?

Will this reboot the machine?

If not, you should use register_reboot_notifier() rather than
register_restart_handler(). The former gets called to do something
just before rebooting, while the latter attempts to actually reboot
the machine.

Why this early? If it can be a normal device_initcall, you can use
module_platform_driver().
