Pinctrl drivers are a common dependency which can prevent a system booting even if the default or bootloader configured settings can work. If a pinctrl node in DT indicates that the default pin setup can be used with the 'pinctrl-use-default' property, then only defer probe until initcalls are done. If the deferred probe timeout is enabled or loadable modules are disabled, then we'll stop deferring probe regardless of the DT property. This gives platforms the option to work without their pinctrl driver being enabled. Dropped the pinctrl specific deferring probe message as the driver core can print deferred probe related messages if needed. Signed-off-by: Rob Herring <robh@xxxxxxxxxx> --- v3: - Drop pinctrl deferred probe msg in favor of driver core messages - Move the handling of "pinctrl-use-default" option out of driver core - Stop deferring probe if modules are not enabled.
