If i2c gpio-expander driver have not load when imx6_pcie probe, I supposed
devm_gpiod_get_optional() will return -EPROBE_DEFER, 

if (IS_ERR(imx6_pcie->reset_gpiod)) should be true. then dev_err_probe()
will run and print "unable to get reset gpio\n" with error code
-EPROBE_DEFER.

driver framework will retry imx6_pcie probe again when a new device appear.
it may retry sevial times utill i2c gpio-expander driver probe success or
timeout.
