Where can I do that ? I need the PFC/GPIO devices to have been probed, so 
board init isn't an option, but I also need the device to be enabled not to 
have been probed yet.

One option would be to use a bus notifier to find out when the PFC/GPIO 
devices are available, and extend of_update_property() with a notification 
mechanism (either generic, or specific to the enabled propery) to detect when 
a device gets enabled and probe it.

Before implementing that, I'd like to know if this approach has a chance to be 
accepted.
