But there is a difference,  etnaviv_init() and etnaviv_exit() is 
impossible to be shared

there are only get called once when the module is loaded.

They can never be reused anymore, except here.

And etnaviv_init() and etnaviv_exit() don't have a choice.


But for etnaviv_create_platform_device() function,

there is a possibility to be reused in the future.
