Yeah, that annoys me as well, but those are the names the driver
currently use.

I considered renaming the deinit callback but instead sent a follow up
patch to remove both of these callbacks now that the pipe clock rework
that depends on them has been merged, but seems like the post_init one
will be needed for the DBI accesses.

I can respin the above mentioned patch to drop or or rename the badly
named one when things settle down a bit.

Yeah, I considered that too but decided it's not needed to implement
modular builds for this driver. Instead I did the ground work by adding
a deinit helper function so that it's easier to track any additions to
the host_init() callback and which can later be called by core if
someone decides to clean up core and add a deinit callback.

Looks like someone just posted something along these lines, but this
would conflict with the split MSI series which is otherwise ready to be
merged:

Also note that there are other drivers that implement remove() without
this callback already today.

Yeah, I didn't want to go rewrite core just for this basic driver
functionality. Especially with so many things already in flux.

As mentioned above, everything is instead prepared to move over to such
a callback if and when it materialises.
