Well - I wanted to re-initalized the device to its old state by clearing the .bss, copying the old .data, calling the init function followed by replaying the device history on it. I was not getting the .init function by calling the module->init() as it is deleted by sys_init_module on a successful loading. And I wanted to prevent it from being cleared but was not able to initially. Sorry for the confusion.
