Do you know if there some extra meaning for the _sync initcalls? The
name would imply something else that just init ordering.

I don't like using multiple initcall levels in the same driver. It's
already quite complicated with omapdss, omapfb and the panel drivers.
What were the dependencies here? Could we have just one initcall which
would do the registration of platform drivers in the correct order?

Does this even work if the DSS is compiled as a module? I have the
recollection that a module can only have one initcall, and in this case
omapdss would have many.
