No file-scope variables. Does not scale, not easy for review and
maintenance. Avoid such code.

So you are printing errors everywhere, on every soc and with compile
test on every platform there is in the world... sorry, it does not work
like that.

I don't think this is some special code which deserves init calls. Make
it module_platform_driver().
