Subject: Question regarding Linux-6.3.5 and Sunxi A20 NAND/NFC support

Hi,

I am trying to make Linux-6.3.5 working on Olimex/Sunxi A20 SOM with NAND.

Found that the Sunxi A20 NAND is supported in mainline kernel
(drivers/mtd/nand/raw/sunxi_nand.c) and following the guidelines here
(https://linux-sunxi.org/Mainline_NAND_Howto); I added the NFC chip
pin information in sunxi-a20.dtsi and defined/enabled the nfc
controller in the sunxi-a20-olinuxino-micro.dts files.

The changes I made are below. Problem is when I define the nfc node
entry in dts file "without" pinctrl entry (pinctrl-0 = <&nand_pins_a>,
<&nand_cs0_pins_a>, <&nand_rb0_pins_a>;), the sunxi_nfc_probe function
is called (though the No NAND chip is detected).

And if I define the pinctrl-0  in the nfc node, all I see related to
NAND/sunxi in the kernel boot log is this line:  platform
1c03000.nand-controller: deferred probe pending.

Can someone please guide me why the deferred probe is pending but
never call the sunxi_nfc_probe function?  And without pinctrl-0 entry
why probe function is being called?

Seems like I am missing something basic here and any pointers to debug
this will be appreciated.
