[PATCH v3 1/2] mmc: mmci.c: Defer probe() in case of yet uninitialized GPIOs

If the GPIOs used by the MMCI driver are not registered yet when the driver is
probe()d, they can't be used. This happens if the mmci driver is probed before
the respective GPIO controller (e.g. on the LPC32xx EA3250 board, the PCA9532
GPIO controller would be initialized via DT after mmci). Therefore, we defer
mmci in this case.
