It turns out my "mostly" was wrong in this matter. It's 4 out of 17 patches,
which make the initialization in the same order as mine:
drivers/gpio/gpio-max732x.c
drivers/gpio/gpio-pca953x.c
drivers/gpio/gpio-pcf857x.c
drivers/gpio/gpio-adp5588.c

while the rest of them does it in the order suggested by you:
drivers/gpio/gpio-pci-idio-16.c
drivers/gpio/gpio-pcie-idio-24.c
drivers/gpio/gpio-104-idio-16.c
drivers/gpio/gpio-104-dio-48e.c
drivers/gpio/gpio-ws16c48.c
drivers/gpio/gpio-rcar.c
drivers/gpio/gpio-wcove.c
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-amd.c
drivers/gpio/gpio-crystalcove.c
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-mcp23s08.c
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-sx150x.c
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-stmfx.c
drivers/gpio/gpio-tc3589x.c

Then, let's use the same order here as the most of the drivers do just for
consistency.
