We'll have to change mt8173 PMIC wrapper and mt6397 MFD core to
arch_initcall if we want to do it.

I think regulators on PMIC is more important than pinctrl. For all
mt8173 systems, few drivers depends on PMIC pinctrl to work but many
depends on the regulators. So if we adjust pinctrl to arch_initcall, we
should change mt6397 regulator as well.
