pinctrl: core: Fix regression caused by delayed work for hogs
Commit df61b366af26 ("pinctrl: core: Use delayed work for hogs") caused a
regression at least with sh-pfc that is also a GPIO controller as
noted by Geert Uytterhoeven <geert@linux-m68k.org>.
As the original pinctrl_register() has issues calling pin controller
driver functions early before the controller has finished registering,
we can't just revert commit df61b366af26. That would break the drivers
using GENERIC_PINCTRL_GROUPS or GENERIC_PINMUX_FUNCTIONS.
So let's fix the issue with the following steps as a single patch:
1. Revert the late_init parts of commit df61b366af26.
The late_init clearly won't work and we have to just give up
on fixing pinctrl_register() for GENERIC_PINCTRL_GROUPS and
GENERIC_PINMUX_FUNCTIONS.
2. Split pinctrl_register() into two parts
By splitting pinctrl_register() into pinctrl_init_controller()
and pinctrl_create_and_start() we have better control over when
it's safe to call pinctrl_create()....
