For some devices especially on platform/I2C/SPI bus, they want to

And this is something we want to get rid of in favor of deferred
probing.
But for those drivers, lots of them just do nothing special in
xxx_initcall/exit, so introduce a helper macro initcall_driver() to
eliminate lots of boilerplate just like module_driver() did.

So, NACK because using some *_initcall in drivers should not be
encouraged.
Ok, got it. I agree with you, *_initcall in module driver is really
confusing people :)
