To clarify: I want to make the init code more easy to follow. These old 
init functions still had to be called in the right order as each 
possibly depends on settings from the others. It also feels like it's 
easier to extract common code for ofdrm. And the pipeline is static, so 
it doesn't require complex chains of helper calls. Having everything in 
one helper seems beneficial. (It's a trade-off, I know.)

Best regards
Thomas
