[PATCH v2 4/7] driver core: fix automatic pinctrl management

Commit ab78029ecc34 ("drivers/pinctrl: grab default handles from device
core") added automatic pin-control management to driver core by looking
up and setting any default pinctrl state found in device tree while a
device is being probed.

This obviously runs into problems as soon as device-tree nodes are
reused for child devices which are later also probed as pins would
already have been claimed by the ancestor device.

For example if a USB host controller claims a pin, its root hub would
consequently fail to probe when its device-tree node is set to the node
of the controller:

pinctrl-single 48002030.pinmux: pin PIN204 already requested by 48064800.ehci; cannot claim for usb1
pinctrl-single 48002030.pinmux: pin-204 (usb1) status -22
pinctrl-single 48002030.pinmux: could not request pin 204 (PIN204) from group usb_dbg_pins on device pinctrl-single
usb usb1: Error applying setting, reverse things back
usb: probe of usb1 failed with error -22

Fix this by checking the new of_node_reused flag and skipping automatic
pinctrl configuration during probe if set.

Note that the flag is checked in driver core rather than in pinctrl
(e.g. in pinctrl_dt_to_map()) which would specifically have prevented
intentional use of a parent's pinctrl properties by a child device
(should such a need ever arise).
