[PATCH v1 1/3] gpio: defer probe if pinctrl cannot be found

[Tomeu Vizoso]

When an OF node has a pin range for its GPIOs, return -EPROBE_DEFER if
the pin controller isn't available.

Otherwise, the GPIO range wouldn't be set at all unless the pin
controller probed always before the GPIO chip.

With this change, the probe of the GPIO chip will be deferred and will
be retried at a later point, hopefully once the pin controller has been
registered and probed already.
