[PATCH 6.6 25/25] gpio: omap: do not register driver in probe()

From: Danilo Krummrich <dakr@kernel.org>

commit 730e5ebff40c852e3ea57b71bf02a4b89c69435f upstream.

Commit 11a78b794496 ("ARM: OMAP: MPUIO wake updates") registers the
omap_mpuio_driver from omap_mpuio_init(), which is called from
omap_gpio_probe().

However, it neither makes sense to register drivers from probe()
callbacks of other drivers, nor does the driver core allow registering
drivers with a device lock already being held.

The latter was revealed by commit dc23806a7c47 ("driver core: enforce
device_lock for driver_match_device()") leading to a potential deadlock
condition described in [1].

Additionally, the omap_mpuio_driver is never unregistered from the
driver core, even if the module is unloaded.

Hence, register the omap_mpuio_driver from the module initcall and
unregister it in module_exit().
