this would work as long as nothing is happening between
object_new() ... user_creatable_complete() but look at
current users of user_creatable_complete() so it's
fragile too.
Reasons for compat props interface are the same as for
instance_post_init/device_post_init.
the thing we can do here is getting rid of device_post_init
and making device override TYPE_COMPAT_PROPS::instance_post_init
to make explicit ordering like we do everywhere else:
