[RFC][PATCH] pinctrl: Rework driver_deferred_probe_check_state() evaluation since default timeout has changed

[John Stultz]

In commit bec6c0ecb243 ("pinctrl: Remove use of
driver_deferred_probe_check_state_continue()"), we removed the
use of driver_deferred_probe_check_state_continue() which
effectively never returned -ETIMED_OUT, with the
driver_deferred_probe_check_state() function that had been
reworked to properly return ETIMED_OUT when the deferred probe
timeout expired. Along with that change, we set the default
timeout to 30 seconds.

However, since moving the timeout to 30 seconds caused some
issues for some users with optional dt links, we set the
default timeout back to zero - see commit ce68929f07de ("driver
core: Revert default driver_deferred_probe_timeout value to 0")

This in essence changed the behavior of the pinctrl's usage
of driver_deferred_probe_check_state(), as it now would return
ETIMED_OUT by default. Thierry reported this caused problems with
resume on tegra platforms.

Thus this patch tweaks the pinctrl logic so that it behaves as
before. If modules are enabled, we'll only return EPROBE_DEFERRED
while we're missing drivers linked in the DT.
