I wonder if a better approach would be to add pin control and pin mux
settings for devices that explicitly need them to the device tree nodes
of the devices themselves. That way they should be able to use deferred
probing to handle this kind of dependency rather than relying on magic
initcall ordering.

This does make the Tegra114 and Tegra124 drivers consistent with what we
have on Tegra20 an Tegra30, though, so perhaps pinctrl is one of the few
exceptions where initcall ordering would be okay.
