pinctrl: qcom: spmi-gpio: fix gpio-hog related boot issues
When attempting to setup up a gpio hog, device probing would repeatedly fail with -EPROBE_DEFERED errors. It was caused by a circular dependency between the gpio and pinctrl frameworks. If the gpio-ranges property is present in device tree, then the gpio framework will handle the gpio pin registration and eliminate the circular dependency. See Christian Lamparter's commit a86caa9b ("pinctrl: msm: fix gpio-hog related boot issues") for a detailed commit message that explains the issue in much more detail. The code comment in this commit came from Christian's commit. Signed-off-by: Brian Masney <masneyb@onstation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
