serial: sc16is7xx: setup GPIO controller later in probe
[ Upstream commit c8f71b49ee4d28930c4a6798d1969fa91dc4ef3e ]
The GPIO controller component of the sc16is7xx driver is setup too
early, which can result in a race condition where another device tries
to utilise the GPIO lines before the sc16is7xx device has finished
initialising.
This issue manifests itself as an Oops when the GPIO lines are configured:
Unable to handle kernel read from unreadable memory at virtual address

This patch moves the setup of the GPIO controller functions to later in the
probe function, ensuring the sc16is7xx device has already finished
initialising by the time other devices try to make use of the GPIO lines.
The error handling has also been reordered to reflect the new
initialisation order.
