That's right, but all you do with those indirections through the
parameter list is move which of the functions is non-pure, in your case
it's etnaviv_init/etnaviv_exit, with the indirection dropped it's
etnaviv_create_platform_device/etnaviv_destroy_platform_device.

Sorry, I'm not following what you are trying to tell me here. Could you
please rephrase?

But it isn't shared, in this compilation unit this function is specific
to the etnaviv driver and I don't see why we shouldn't have etnaviv
specifics in there if it makes the code of this driver easier to
follow.
