To make it easier to get init time dependencies right during driver
loading, define the following init phases:
- state init not requiring device access
- minimal HW setup to enable MMIO access to the device
- state init requiring device access

In the future the 3rd phase could be fine-grained further for example:
- state init requiring device access w/o side effects
  (i.e. read-only HW access, no interface registrations)
- state init causing device side effects
  (i.e any HW access, no interface registration)
- registering all interfaces
