I am a bit lost, what's the connection between the probe() callback
and the reset pin function configuration ?

Please elaborate.

That should just be (roughly) some microseconds unless there is
something I am missing. Try to measure it :)

More importantly, I would ask you to elaborate a bit more
about the logic behind this patch, see above because I need
to understand the logic behind pinctrl reset and the probe()
hook execution ordering.
