Some other ADB subdriver .init() and .probe() functions aren't that small.
But with the current scheme using adb_drivers_list[], they cannot be __init.
Probably the long term fix is to change the ADB subsystem from the
centralized approach of letting adb_init() call all subdrivers, to making the
subdrivers platform drivers registering with the ADB core.
