I think Andreas patch (commit 92bf78b33b0b463b00c6b0203b49aea845daecc8)
kind of describes the problem with that: the probe order is now unpredictable,
so if we revert the patch then that problem returns, but I don't know how
serious that problem is.

It's one of the reasons why we can't have static GPIO bases anymore FWIW.
The only fix that would actually fix the problem would be to undo deferred
probe and the ongoing work to determine probe order from the device
tree resource tree, and it is way too late for that, it's just not possible.
