However, they all have the same "look" so to say: no real ARM assembly

This may be the reason why these initcall are not actually called:
Guennadi's ones had a real ARM assembly instruction. To solve all my
problems I need to understand why my subsys_initcall do not get called.

You really haven't understood the point.  In both cases, they are
ADDRESSES not INSTRUCTIONS.  They _must_ always be addresses since
they are _pointers_ _to_ _functions_.

So there's nothing wrong with what you show above.
