The fips_enable() function is only invoked early during kernel boot via the __setup() macro ("fips=" command line parameter), and is never used again after initialization completes. Annotating it with __init places the function in the .init.text section, allowing the kernel to free its memory after init (when freeing_initmem() runs), reducing runtime memory footprint. This is a standard practice for setup/early-parse functions and has no functional impact — the parsing logic, return values, and fips mode setting behavior remain unchanged.
