FWIW, most of the other pinctrl drivers seem to be using arch_initcall() 
already.

$ grep -r arch_initcall drivers/pinctrl/*
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-at91.c:arch_initcall(at91_pinctrl_init);
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-coh901.c:arch_initcall(u300_gpio_init);
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-imx35.c:arch_initcall(imx35_pinctrl_init);
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-imx51.c:arch_initcall(imx51_pinctrl_init);
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-imx53.c:arch_initcall(imx53_pinctrl_init);
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-imx6q.c:arch_initcall(imx6q_pinctrl_init);
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-sirf.c:arch_initcall(sirfsoc_pinmux_init);
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-tegra20.c:arch_initcall(tegra20_pinctrl_init);
drivers/pinctrl/pinctrl-tegra30.c:arch_initcall(tegra30_pinctrl_init);

drivers/pinctrl/spear/pinctrl-spear300.c:arch_initcall(spear300_pinctrl_init);
drivers/pinctrl/spear/pinctrl-spear320.c:arch_initcall(spear320_pinctrl_init);
drivers/pinctrl/spear/pinctrl-spear310.c:arch_initcall(spear310_pinctrl_init);
drivers/pinctrl/spear/pinctrl-spear1340.c:arch_initcall(spear1340_pinctrl_init);
