Below is what I came up with for removing the race for hogs. We
can do it by not registering the pctldev until in the deferred
work, does that seem OK to you?

Subject: [PATCH] pinctrl: core: Use delayed work for hogs
Having the pin control framework call pin controller functions
before it's probe has finished is not nice as the pin controller
device driver does not yet have struct pinctrl_dev handle.
Let's fix this issue by adding deferred work for late init. This is
needed to be able to add pinctrl generic helper functions that expect
to know struct pinctrl_dev handle. Note that we now need to call
create_pinctrl() directly as we don't want to add the pin controller
to the list of controllers until the hogs are claimed.
