[PATCH v2 2/3] gpio: mxc: shift gpio_mxc_init() to subsys_initcall level

[Vladimir Zapolskiy]

In general situation on-SoC GPIO controller drivers should be probed
after pinctrl/pinmux controller driver, because on-SoC GPIOs utilize a
pin/pad as a resource provided and controlled by pinctrl subsystem.

This is stated in multiple places, e.g. from drivers/Makefile:

  GPIO must come after pinctrl as gpios may need to mux pins etc

Looking at Freescale iMX SoC series specifics, imx*_pinctrl_init()
functions are called at arch_initcall and postcore_initcall init
levels, so the change of initcall level for gpio-mxc driver from
postcore_initcall to subsys_initcall level is sufficient. Also note
that the most of GPIO controller drivers settled at subsys_initcall
level.

If pinctrl subsystem manages pads with GPIO functions, the change is
needed to avoid unwanted driver probe deferrals during kernel boot.

Changes from v1 to v2:
* replaced by a change with better commit description and which
  moves gpio_mxc_init() call to subsys_initcall() instead of
  apparently too late device_initcall(), this mitigates Shawn's
  expressed concern about the change.
