The init infrastructure, found in `init.h`, is currently used by:
- `SYS_INIT`: to call functions before `main`
- `DEVICE_*`: to initialize devices
They are all sorted according to an initialization level + a priority.
`SYS_INIT` calls are really orthogonal to devices, however, the required
function signature requires a `const struct device *dev` as a first
argument. The only reason for that is because the same init machinery is
used by devices, so we have something like:
```c
struct init_entry {
int (*init)(const struct device *dev);
/* only set by DEVICE_*, otherwise NULL */
const struct device *dev;
}
```
As a result, we end up with such weird/ugly pattern:
```c
static int my_init(const struct device *dev)
{
/* always NULL! add ARG_UNUSED to avoid compiler warning */
ARG_UNUSED(dev);
...
}
```
This is really a result of poor internals isolation. This patch proposes
a to make init entries more flexible so that they can accept sytem
initialization calls like this:
```c
static int my_init(void)
{
...
}
```
This is achieved using a union:
```c
union init_function {
/* for SYS_INIT, used when init_entry.dev == NULL */
int (*sys)(void);
/* for DEVICE*, used when init_entry.dev != NULL */
int (*dev)(const struct device *dev);
};
struct init_entry {
/* stores init function (either for SYS_INIT or DEVICE*)
union init_function init_fn;
/* stores device pointer for DEVICE*, NULL for SYS_INIT. Allows
* to know which union entry to call.
*/
const struct device *dev;
}
```
This solution **does not increase ROM usage**, and allows to offer clean
public APIs for both SYS_INIT and DEVICE*. Note that however, init
machinery keeps a coupling with devices.
**NOTE**: This is a breaking change! All `SYS_INIT` functions will need
to be converted to the new signature. See the script offered in the
following commit.
