[PATCH v2] pinctrl: queue GPIO operations instead of defering

[Linus Walleij]

We currently defer probing of the caller if a pinctrl GPIO
request or direction setting comes in before the range mapping
a certain GPIO to a certain pin controller is available.

This can end up with a circular dependency: the GPIO driver
needs the pin controller to be ready and the pin controller
need the GPIO driver to be ready. This also happens if
pin controllers and GPIO controllers compiled as modules
are inserted in a certain order.

To break this circular dependence, queue any GPIO
operations coming to the framework until the range is ready,
instead of deferring the probe of the caller.

On the Nomadik we get this situation with the pinctrl
driver when moving to requesting GPIOs off the gpiochip
right after it has been added, and with this patch the
boot dilemma is sorted out nicely, as can be seen in this
condensed bootlog:

pinctrl core: initialized pinctrl subsystem
gpio 101e4000.gpio: at address cc852000
gpio 101e5000.gpio: at address cc854000
gpio 101e6000.gpio: at address cc856000
pinctrl core: queueing pinctrl request for GPIO 104
gpio 101e7000.gpio: at address cc858000
pinctrl core: requested queued GPIO 104
pinctrl-nomadik pinctrl.0: initialized Nomadik pin control driver

ChangeLog v1->v2:
- Apart from queueing requests, also queue direction setting
  operations.
