drivers/pinctrl: grab default handles from device core
This makes the device core auto-grab the pinctrl handle and set the "default" (PINCTRL_STATE_DEFAULT) state for every device that is present in the device model right before probe. This will account for the lion's share of embedded silicon devcies. A modification of the semantics for pinctrl_get() is also done: previously if the pinctrl handle for a certain device was already taken, the pinctrl core would return an error. Now, since the core may have already default-grabbed the handle and set its state to "default", if the handle was already taken, this will be disregarded and the located, previously instanitated handle will be returned to the caller. This way all code in drivers explicitly requesting their pinctrl handlers will still be functional, and drivers that want to explicitly retrieve and switch their handles can still do that. But if the desired functionality is just boilerplate of this type in the probe() function: struct pinctrl *p; p...
