These changes are related to pinctrl init order patch. The related
discussion is here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mediatek/2015-December/003298.html

and these should really be a series:

mediatek pwrap

mt6397 MFD core
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mediatek/2015-December/003348.html
mt6397 regulator
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-mediatek/2015-December/003349.html


I think Henry use arch_initcall because that's what pinctrl patch was
using. In this case, we should use subsys_initcall for all these.
