Description
When defining and using a model mixin like so:
`
class ModelMixin(Model):
class Meta:
abstract = True
def init_subclass(cls) -> None:
super().init_subclass()
breakpoint()
cls._my_setup_func()
class TestModel(ModelMixin):
name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
`
The init_subclass call will be first called when the class is created here:
https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/django/db/models/base.py#L120
However the meta is attached here:
https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/django/db/models/base.py#L143
So during the init_subclass call you will have the superclass' meta object if you try to access it.
