A bunch of these functions have a single call site, with a mix of __init:

kirin_pcie_probe() ->
kirin_add_pcie_port() -> // __init
kirin_pcie_add_msi()

But it looks like probe functions should be marked init:
$ cd drivers; grep -r __init | grep probe

seems to turn up quite a lot of *probe() functions that are marked __init.
https://www.tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.4/html/x281.htm has more info, and
from reading that, it seems that it's a no-op for a module that's
marked loadable.

So I agree; __init should be added to kirin_pcie_probe(), but also
kirin_pcie_add_msi(). That way if the module is statically compiled
into the kernel image, these functions with a single call site get
cleaned up after init.

Nathan, would you mind sending a v2?
