No. You really do need to explain why it is needed, and why it is
safe.

Hi Andrew and David,
Thank you for your comments!
The client driver is still work in progress, but it can be seen here:
https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/la/kernel/msm-4.19/tree/drivers/platform/msm/ipa/ipa_api.c#n3842
For HW performance reasons, it has to be in subsys_initcall.

This makes me wonder how this interface could even be useful. The
only way to fix the problem is to change when the device is probed,

Add an API that returns true, if the net_dev_init was already called,
and the driver was initialized.
Some early drivers, that are initialized during the subsys_initcall
may try accessing the net_dev or NAPI APIs before the net_dev_init,
and will encounter a kernel bug. This API p
