-For ``SYS_INIT()`` there are no config or runtime data structures and there

-For ``SYS_DEVICE_DEFINE()`` you can obtain pointers by name.
-
-:c:func:`SYS_INIT()`
-   Run an initialization function at boot at specified priority.
-
-:c:func:`SYS_DEVICE_DEFINE()`
-   Like :c:func:`DEVICE_DEFINE` without an API table and constructing
-   the device name from the init function name.
+In some cases you may just need to run a function at boot. For such cases, the
+:c:macro:`SYS_INIT` can be used. This macro does not take any config or runtime
