Looks like we need both a flag and a way for the pin controller driver
to start things.
Below is an experimental fix to intorduce pinctrl_start() that I've
tested with pinctrl-single. Then we should probably make all pin controller
drivers call pinctrl_start() to properly fix the issue of struct pinctrl_dev
handle not being initialized before driver functions are called.
Or do you guys have any better ideas?

Tony
