Hmm I'm pretty sure the LCD was working on panda with DT
few weeks ago?

In any case, all those drivers should be just module_init
so we get out of the race to bottom to initialize drivers
early. Pinctrl is already before i2c in drivers/Makefile.

I suspect there may be some recent regression that has
happened in linux next over past few weeks.
