Hello Dhruva,

We need this patch to support suspend to ram for the PCIe on J7200.
In root complex mode, a gpio is used to reset endpoints.
This gpio shall be managed during suspend_noirq and resume_noirq stages.
On J7200 this gpio is on a gpio expander.
So we need this patch to restore pinctrl to be able to do i2c accesses
in noirq stages.

Best Regards,
