The current ordering always results in func pointing to the next function in the init_sequence. e.g. if fdtdec_setup() fails, ret will be set to the error code, then func will be updated to point to initf_malloc(), only then is ret checked and the loop broken. The end result of this is that the "initcall failed at ..." error will point you to initf_malloc(), when the error actually occured in fdtdec_setup()!
This can be quite confusing and result in a lot of time wasted debugging code that has nothing to do with the failure (ask me how I know :P).
Adjust the for loop to check ret immediately after the call and break early so that func will correctly reference the failed function.
