That's right, but all you do with those indirections through the
parameter list is move which of the functions is non-pure, in your case
it's etnaviv_init/etnaviv_exit,

But there is a difference,  etnaviv_init() and etnaviv_exit() is impossible to be shared

there are only get called once when the module is loaded.

They can never be reused anymore, except here.

And etnaviv_init() and etnaviv_exit() don't have a choice.


But for etnaviv_create_platform_device() function,

there is a possibility to be reused in the future.


with the indirection dropped it's
etnaviv_create_platform_device/etnaviv_destroy_platform_device.
