That would be fine as well, I guess. Just duplicated the pattern used in 
CCF, but can remove them in next version if it's found to be better.

Oops, missed this.

Right.

Yes, this could be useful. Makes me wonder why clock code (on which I 
based this code) doesn't have it done this way.

Hmm, the initcall here just registers a notifier, which needs to be done 
just before any driver registers. So, IMHO, current variant is safe, 
given an early enough initcall level is used.

However, doing it the pinctrl way might still have an advantage of not 
relying on specific bus type, so this is worth consideration indeed. I'd 
like to hear Rafael's and Kevin's opinions on this (and other comments 
above too).
