Re: [PATCH 1/3] pinctrl: rockchip: add support for io-domain dependency

[Linus Walleij]

Top posting to bring Saravana Kannan into this discussion.

This looks like a big hack to me, Saravana has been working
tirelessly to make the device tree probe order "sort itself out"
and I am pretty sure this issue needs to be fixed at the DT
core level and not in a driver.

Saravana, can you advice how we should handle this properly?

Yours,
Linus Walleij
