What steps will reproduce the problem?

    'sql' => Companies::find(), // it will react same with any sql. Just use any class, that you have
    'pagination' => ['pageSize' => 10]
]);

What is the expected result?

SqlDataProvider class.

Call to a member function getQueryBuilder() on string in

Additional info

Q	A
Yii version	2.0.50
PHP version	PHP 8.3.8
Operating system	Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 5.4.0-40-generic x86_64)

As far as I understand this issue appeared after version 2.0.50. If I downgrade it to 2.0.48 everything works fine and no issue on my example. After 2.0.50 somehow init function is not called and $this->db is left as string.
