Why do the I2C and SPI subdrivers depend on PINCTRL?
They sure don't seem to be using any pinctrl-specific APIs.
They require PINCTRL even if they don't call any functions on it because
the
chip won't work correctly if there isn't a PINCTRL driver to apply the
correct pinmux configuration.
Apply the configuration to what? Sorry I don't get it.
You can't be referring to the internal pin controller of the Madera, since
Yes I am
You are saying that the I2C and SPI interface to the Madera codec
depends on pin control.
It does not.
You can most certainly talk I2C and SPI to the coded without any
pin control. Probably the MFD driver can come up without it.
If what you want is unconditional pin control enabled for this circuit,
then have MFD_MADERA select PINCTRL.
that has to come up before its pin controller can even be communicated
with.
So?
The MFD driver powers up the chip before registering child drivers.
Including the pin controller. You just confirmed what I said: the
I2C and SPI interfaces do not require pin control to talk to the
chip.
Also that's not entirely relevant, the pinctrl settings can still be written
with the chip off because they will go into the regmap cache and be applied
when the chip is next resumed.
You still have the dependencies wrong.

So the short version of this email thread is that it should be "select
PINCTRL" ?
