There is a (strong) dependency between pinctrl and hsem.
As our pin controller is enabled by default, it's better to enable also
your hwspinlock device by default. It will avoid pin controller probe 
defer and a no stable behavior. So, I gonna remove DT patches from 
stm32-next. Those Dt patches will not be included in my 4.20 pull-request.
