ok, it seems we still need to hook this into the callback of this
specific machine instead of using a global early_initcall(). since now
the dt compatible field has been generic enough, it will cause other
platforms to execute l2x0_of_init() too.

what if the real case is that l2x0 has been enabled in bootloader?
