I'd leave the init level as-is because it also resolves deferred probing
of the drivers which may come back if you'll move all drivers to the
default boot level. Drivers core should be aware of the hardware
topology to be able to probe drivers in the right order, but that's not
supported for the device tree.

Indeed, will be nice to have an explicit dependency on the PINCTRL
driver for the GPIO.

This all is looking good to me! Thank you very much!
