commit 533169d164c6b4c8571d0d48779f6ff6be593d72 upstream.

Some SoC might load the GPIO driver after the I2C driver and
using the I2C bus recovery mechanism via GPIOs. In this case
it is crucial to defer probing if the GPIO request functions
do so, otherwise the I2C driver gets loaded without recovery
mechanisms enabled.
