Um, well, I could blindly remove those __init sections, but in
looking at the code, set_imx_fb_info() is not ever used, and
imx_set_mmc_info() is called from some __init code...

It looks like this code can only be built-in, not as a loadable
module.  (so someone who knows it should jump in here)
If that's correct, then the EXPORT_SYMBOL() isn't even needed
and the function can remain as __init (right?).
