This reminds me of an old patch I just recently stumbled over again:

https://lore.kernel.org/dri-devel/Y3St2VHJ7jEmcNFw@phenom.ffwll.local/

Should I resurrect that one maybe and send it out? I think that also ties
a bit into your story here.

I think it would be good to update the kerneldoc of _init() and _fini()
here to mention each another like we usually do with these pairs. Same
with prepare/unprepare() although the latter rerfences _prepare() already.

Ok this one tegra change was a bit tricky, drivers really should just use
drmm_/devm_ for everything :-)

With the kerneldoc augmented:
