Technically yes.

But then I grepped include/ and it is widely used, even by core kernel
headers. Why is that ? Maybe just to keep prototype consistent ?

Also init.h says:

 * If the function has a prototype somewhere, you can also add
 * __init between closing brace of the prototype and semicolon:
 *
 * extern int initialize_foobar_device(int, int, int) __init;

Hmm, I understand that it is just saying that __init can be used after
function's name instead of just before, but isn't it also suggesting
that headers may also have it (maybe just to keep it consistent) ?
