[Alice Guo] I will delete "__maybe_unused".

[Alice Guo] device_initcall is executed earlier than module_platform_driver. imx8_soc_init will judge
whether there is "fsl,imx8mX-soc" in DTS file. If there is "fsl,imx8mX-soc", it will exit device_initcall and use module_platform_driver. The purpose is to be compatible with the old DTS file which does not have
"fsl,imx8mX-soc".

[Alice Guo] I check comments below.

[Alice Guo] Sorry, I will add changelog next time. Actually I wrote "Old .dts files can also work." in the commit.

device_initcall is executed earlier than module_platform_driver. imx8_soc_init will judge
whether there is "fsl,imx8mX-soc" in DTS file. If there is "fsl,imx8mX-soc", it will exit device_initcall and use module_platform_driver. Can I keep double entry point?

[Alice Guo] Ok. I will modify it. Can the name of function use suffix "_flag"?
