Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH v1 2/9] pinctrl: devicetree: Delete usage of driver_deferred_probe_check_state()

Hi Saravana,

Thanks for your patch!

0-9?

oh, it's really 0-8:

    drivers/of/property.c:DEFINE_SIMPLE_PROP(pinctrl0, "pinctrl-0", NULL)
    drivers/of/property.c:DEFINE_SIMPLE_PROP(pinctrl1, "pinctrl-1", NULL)
    drivers/of/property.c:DEFINE_SIMPLE_PROP(pinctrl2, "pinctrl-2", NULL)
    drivers/of/property.c:DEFINE_SIMPLE_PROP(pinctrl3, "pinctrl-3", NULL)
    drivers/of/property.c:DEFINE_SIMPLE_PROP(pinctrl4, "pinctrl-4", NULL)
    drivers/of/property.c:DEFINE_SIMPLE_PROP(pinctrl5, "pinctrl-5", NULL)
    drivers/of/property.c:DEFINE_SIMPLE_PROP(pinctrl6, "pinctrl-6", NULL)
    drivers/of/property.c:DEFINE_SIMPLE_PROP(pinctrl7, "pinctrl-7", NULL)
    drivers/of/property.c:DEFINE_SIMPLE_PROP(pinctrl8, "pinctrl-8", NULL)

Looks fragile, especially since we now have:

    arch/arm64/boot/dts/microchip/sparx5_pcb134_board.dtsi:
pinctrl-9 = <&i2cmux_9>;
    arch/arm64/boot/dts/microchip/sparx5_pcb134_board.dtsi: pinctrl-10
= <&i2cmux_10>;
    arch/arm64/boot/dts/microchip/sparx5_pcb134_board.dtsi: pinctrl-11
= <&i2cmux_11>;
    arch/arm64/boot/dts/microchip/sparx5_pcb134_board.dtsi: pinctrl-12
= <&i2cmux_pins_i>;
