Use module_init instead of late_initcall, as is the norm for modular

module_init was used until 6e8de0bd6a51fdeebd5d975c4fcc426f730b339b
("drm/tilcdc: add encoder slave (v2)") changed it to a late_initcall,
but it does not explain why. Tests show it's working properly with
module_init.


If I recall, the late_initcall stuff was done to try and make sure the tda998x/i2c subsystem came up before tilcdc. However it didn't always work so we added commit: 39de6194131c155901f96686a063212656d80c2e to try and ensure the ordering. This might be why changing back to module_init is fine (and I agree with your assessment from my testing).
