[PATCH] pinctrl: Don't create a pinctrl handle if no pinctrl entries exist

[Jon Hunter <jonathanh@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When pinctrl_get() is called for a device, it will return a valid handle
even if the device itself has no pinctrl state entries defined in
device-tree. This is caused by the function pinctrl_dt_to_map() which
will return success even if the first pinctrl state, 'pinctrl-0', is not
found in the device-tree node for a device.

According to the pinctrl device-tree binding documentation, pinctrl
states must be numbered starting from 0 and so 'pinctrl-0' should always
be present if a device uses pinctrl and therefore, if 'pinctrl-0' is not
present it seems valid that we should not return a valid pinctrl handle.

Fix this by returning an error code if the property 'pinctrl-0' is not
present for a device.

I was wondering if this meant we are creating pinctrl handles for
devices on boot that don't use pinctrl (when
calling pinctrl_bind_pins()). However, although devm_pinctrl_get()
does return successful for all devices, the subsequent call to
pinctrl_lookup_state() (to get the default state) will fail and so
we will destroy the pinctrl handle afterall.
