From 5106d0c655596585086c39feb366a60434e37f83 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Walleij Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2012 10:00:38 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] pinctrl: implement pinctrl deferred probing If drivers try to obtain pinctrl handles for a pin controller that has not yet registered to the subsystem, we need to be able to back out and retry with deferred probing. So let's return -EPROBE_DEFER whenever this location fails.
