Just tested and if devm_pinctrl_get_select_default() is removed, I am
not able to change the ipu csi pinctrl settings anymore.

I had to ignore devm_pinctrl_get_select_default() error value so that
the driver can probe again:

        priv->dev->of_node = pdata->of_node;
        pinctrl = devm_pinctrl_get_select_default(priv->dev);
-       if (IS_ERR(pinctrl)) {
-               ret = PTR_ERR(priv->vdev);
-               goto free;

+       if (IS_ERR(pinctrl))
+               dev_dbg(priv->dev, "pintrl_get_select_default() failed\n");
        ret = v4l2_async_register_subdev(&priv->sd);
        if (ret)
                goto free;

Is there a better solution for this issue?
