The i.MX I2C driver touches the pinctrl in its prepare/unprepare
callbacks.
So, on a i.MX or Vybrid, the call chain looks like this:
i2c_generic_gpio_recovery
-> i2c_get_gpios_for_recovery
-> gpio_request_one
-> i2c_generic_recovery
-> prepare_recovery (i2c_imx_prepare_recovery)
-> pinctrl_select_state [gpio]
-> unprepare_recovery (i2c_imx_unprepare_recovery)
-> pinctrl_select_state [default]
-> i2c_put_gpios_for_recovery
-> gpio_free
And for the pinctrl/GPIO driver of Vybrid this is actually a problem
because gpio_free disables the output driver of the pad, and when that
happens after the (I2C) default pinctrl state gets selected the pad is
no longer active.
