Hmm... This change seems incomplete on my eyes: tuners and dvb-frontends
are also I2C drivers. So, while this fixes the issue for platform drivers,
other drivers will still suffer this issue, at least on drivers that doesn't
depend on drivers located outside the media subsystem[1]

[1] thankfully, staging compiles after media, so the drivers there
shouldn't be affected. Also, drivers that use alsa won't be affected, as
alsa core (with is compiled after media) uses subsys_initcall().

IMO, the correct fix is the one below. Could you please test it?

[media] Fix init order for I2C drivers

Based on a patch from Sylvester Nawrocki

This fixes regression introduced with commmit cb7a01ac324bf2ee2,
"[media] move i2c files into drivers/media/i2c".

The linked order affect what drivers will be initialized first, when
they're built-in at Kernel. While there are macros that allow changing
the init order, like subsys_initcall(), late_initcall() & friends,
when all drivers  linked belong to the same subsystem, it is easier
to change the order at the Makefile.

All I2C modules must be linked before any drivers that actually use it,
in order to ensure proper module initialization order.

Also, the core drivers should be initialized before the drivers that use
them.

This patch reorders the drivers init, in order to fulfill the above
requirements.
