No, I was talking more specifically about de2104x driver.

For general drivers I prefer __devinit out of general laziness: if
there is not an active and kernel-clueful maintainer, then it's better
to mark everything __devinit [with the wastage it implies]. But for a
few drivers with obviously provable/disprovable cases, __init may be better.

So it IMO matters WRT maintainer and testability issues as well as
strictly kernel/technical issues.
