It's just outside the pattern expected for device drivers.  I like to
be careful about things like this.  That's why I recommend __devinit
also, but I see now that the probe hook isn't added to the
platform_device so it isn't required.

Don't go with what is written in the code here; go with what the
meaning of the sections are.  The code can be changed, but the drivers
are expected to honor what the sections mean.

__init can be freed after module init
__devinit in reality never gets freed because devices can show up later
__devexit can be freed if hotplug is not enabled
__exit can be freed after module unload
