In arch/arm/mach-tegra/Makefile, we have:

obj-y                                   += common.o
obj-y                                   += io.o
obj-y                                   += irq.o
obj-y					+= fuse.o
obj-y					+= pmc.o
.....

Should we have a single entry for them as well?

obj-y:= common.o io.o irq.o fuse.o pmc.o flowctrl.o powergate.o apbio.o pm.o \
	reset.o reset-handler.o sleep.o tegra.o

I think that this moval could be done another patch.

This function itself will be dropped by the following IS_ENABLED().

As explained in the above, a complier will drop unnecessary functions
automatically with this IS_ENABLED(), which could save many ifdefs.

I originally thought that one should try to solve those board specific
problems with DT basically and this tegra specific board_init_funcs[]
was left only for the legacy support during DT transition.
