There's a reason for having power_init that late: the registers it uses
aren't fully set up until after mpeg_init has been called (at least not
on a player). When it was placed earlier (after adc_init, IIRC), the
initial setup of the power history was wrong, and it would take about 30
minutes before the battery meter showed the correct value.

So, just moving power_init might not help. Maybe it can be fixed by
moving some initializations, or maybe it is simply a matter of time.
