Subject: [PATCH 4.9 74/87] MIPS: AR7: Defer registration of GPIO

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jonas Gorski <jonas.gorski@...il.com>

commit e6b03ab63b4d270e0249f96536fde632409dc1dc upstream.

When called from prom init code, ar7_gpio_init() will fail as it will
call gpiochip_add() which relies on a working kmalloc() to alloc
the gpio_desc array and kmalloc is not useable yet at prom init time.

Move ar7_gpio_init() to ar7_register_devices() (a device_initcall)
where kmalloc works.

Fixes: 14e85c0e69d5 ("gpio: remove gpio_descs global array")
