Hi Guenter,

Since commit ff2b13592299 ("gpio: make the gpiochip a real device"),
attempts to add a gpio chip prior to gpiolib initialization cause
the system to crash. This happens because gpio_bus_type has not been
registered yet. Defer creating gpio devices until after gpiolib has
been initialized to fix the problem.

Thanks for putting these patches together.
I can now boot all my boards again with them applied :-)
But, I am seeing an issue on one of my targets during boot:

gpiolib: could not register GPIO bus type
NET: Registered protocol family 16
Probably coldfire ?
arch/m68k/coldfire/gpio.c:
Yes, that is the one.
static struct bus_type mcfgpio_subsys = {
.name = "gpio",
.dev_name = "gpio",
};
No idea what to do about that. Can that bus be renamed ?
Yeah, it could. But is it even necessary at all now?
I am thinking I could remove the subsys_system_register(&mcfgpio_subsys, NULL)
call from that coldfire/gpio.c. Doing that certainly cleans up the
boot. There was nothing much under the old coldfire /sys/gpio other than
the standard devices/drivers/etc. And the new gpio api ofcourse has all
that as well.
Sure, if that works for you.

The boot otherwise continues and is successful.
Thanks for testing!
