checkcard() are the only user of hisax_cs_setup_card().
And checkcard is only used during init or when hot plugging
ISDN devices. So annotate hisax_cs_setup_card() with __devinit.
checkcard() is used by exported functions so it cannot be
annotated __devinit. Annotate it with __ref so modpost
ignore references to _devinit section.
