Yes, a fixes tag is warranted here, in Linux it "only" fixes a potential
issue due to the mismatch between pinconfig and gpio during probe.

nce this patch then enters the kernel, it can be cherry-picked to
the current u-boot development cycle. I don't think u-boot is doing
stable releases though, so U-Boot will only profit for the next
version where this is included.
