[ Upstream commit 28f24068387169722b508bba6b5257cb68b86e74 ]

The GPIO controller is configured as non-sleeping but it uses generic
pinctrl helpers which use a mutex for synchronization.

This can cause the following lockdep splat with shared GPIOs enabled on
boards which have multiple devices using the same GPIO:
