Ok, fair enough. I don't see a reason to rush the subsys_initcall conversion,
it just felt odd to do it for late_initcall first when there are so many more
instances of subsys_initcall in arch/arm. We can also ask the next person
who wants to add a subsys_initcall to do that work, so you don't have to
do it all by yourself ;-)
