Yes, I think this is a nice cleanup for simplest case. But Prima
platforms do much more checking at the same init level. An attempt to
get rid of postcore and early init calls might introduce this back.

You could solve both the early and postcore initcall issues by returning
instead of panic, and let every NON Prima platforms call this function.
Or
Do it the right way and clean it up.

I will leave it up to you to decide on how you want to fix the multi_v7
kernel issue.

Thanks,
