If you look, you will find that platform_device.h does not include the
init.h even though it references __init; it can do this w/o error since
all the references themselves are in a macro.  However once code wants
to be a consumer of those macros, they will need init.h present.  Often
you can overlook directly calling it out for inclusion since it gets
sourced by another header, but it is best policy to list what gets used.

Thanks for testing!

Paul.
