Looks like we need both a flag and a way for the pin controller driver
to start things.

Below is an experimental fix to intorduce pinctrl_start() that I've
tested with pinctrl-single. Then we should probably make all pin controller
drivers call pinctrl_start() to properly fix the issue of struct pinctrl_dev
handle not being initialized before driver functions are called.

Or do you guys have any better ideas?

Regards,

Tony

Hm I guess that could work, but can we keep pinctrl_register() with the old
semantics and add a separate pinctrl_register_and_defer()
for those who just wanna start it later by a separate call?

Then we don't need any special flags.

Not really. So you mean revert the previous patch and apply something
like this instead?

OK I'll take a look.

Let me first take a look to see if we can fix it by making drivers using
GENERIC_PINCTRL_GROUPS or GENERIC_PINMUX_FUNCTIONS register with
pinctrl_register_and_defer(). I'll post a patch for that today.

Then maybe for v4.12 we can attempt to move all pin controller drivers
to using it so we can fix the problem for good.

Regards,

Tony

Yeah we can fix this by reverting the late_init parts of the earlier
attempt and introducing a new pinctrl_register_and_init() for controllers
to use:

extern int pinctrl_register_and_init(struct pinctrl_desc *pctldesc,
				     struct device *dev, void *driver_data,
				     struct pinctrl_dev **pctldev);

> Then maybe for v4.12 we can attempt to move all pin controller drivers

And that will also make converting existing drivers to use it later on
trivial.

Will post a patch shortly after some more testing.

Tony
