More specifically, it allows the init functions to return NULL when they
do their own filtering and return NULL (as I do in [1] inside
dpu_hw_intf_init for INTF_NONE so that rm->hw_intf for that index is
assigned NULL, rather than failing the entire dpu_rm_init).

It's just one, but that technically counts as "all".

Nit: it did not technically add it "back"; there was no DSC code to
begin with but I'm not sure how to concisely word that by explaining
that init was copied from downstream following downstream patterns (I
think) rather than observing local upstream context.  And not worth it
if there's no resend.
