Subject[PATCH] pinctrl: implement pinctrl deferred probing
Date
From: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>

If drivers try to obtain pinctrl handles for a pin controller that
has not yet registered to the subsystem, we need to be able to
back out and retry with deferred probing. So let's return
-EPROBE_DEFER whenever this location fails.

The pins are allocated for your device when you issue the pinctrl_get() call,
after this you should be able to see this in the debugfs listing of all pins.

+NOTE: the pinctrl system will return -EPROBE_DEFER if it cannot find the
+requested pinctrl handles, for example if the pinctrl driver has not yet
+registered. Thus make sure that the error path in your driver gracefully
+cleans up and is ready to retry the probing later in the startup process.
