[PATCH] gpio: Return EPROBE_DEFER if gc->to_irq is NULL

[Shreeya Patel]

We are racing the registering of .to_irq when probing the
i2c driver. This results in random failure of touchscreen
devices.

Following errors could be seen in dmesg logs when gc->to_irq is NULL

[2.101857] i2c_hid i2c-FTS3528:00: HID over i2c has not been provided an Int IRQ
[2.101953] i2c_hid: probe of i2c-FTS3528:00 failed with error -22

To avoid this situation, defer probing until to_irq is registered.

This issue has been reported many times in past and people have been
using workarounds like changing the pinctrl_amd to built-in instead
of loading it as a module or by adding a softdep for pinctrl_amd into
the config file.
