The INIT_FUNC patch series will require that the board_init...() functions
get flattened to simply processing loops and all of these extra functions
that have crept in outside those loops be moved into the init arrays.

Have a look at arch/x86/lib/board.c for reference

Defining these functions as returning int with no parameters will make
that work a lot easier

Graeme
