I know that the gpio definition in the device-tree is non-standard (and
should have been done differently).

Apart from this, the driver uses module_platform_driver_probe. My
understanding is that this prevents probe deferral.

Does this mean that from now on, a driver which requests a gpio must not
use module_platform_driver_probe?
