And? It will become available soon afterwards.

I don't think we care about the order in which the initcalls are called.
If the SoC level init call registering the suspend_ops gets called first, then at the beginning there is only support for standby. The support for suspend to RAM will be enabled once the board-level init call gets called.
If the board level init call is called first, then it will set mvebu_board_pm_enter. It is not useful at this point. Until the SoC level init call registers the suspend_ops.
I believe that the ->valid() method of suspend_ops gets called when the user actually enters the suspend state by writing to /sys/power/state. And by that time, both init calls will have been called.
