Device tree seems to be ok. We have:

	pinctrl0: pinctrl at e0200000 {
		compatible = "samsung,s5pc110-pinctrl";
		reg = <0xe0200000 0x1000>;
	};

So when we take address from "reg" as dev->req_seq, then value
0xe0200000 after casting to int gives -534773760. Function
uclass_resolve_seq() returns it as proper seq number, because it's
unique. But then in file drivers/core/device.c, in function
device_probe() we have:

	seq = uclass_resolve_seq(dev);
	if (seq < 0) {
		ret = seq;
		goto fail;
	}

And it will obviously fail.

Using "reg" value as req_seq doesn't work when this value is greater
than INT_MAX.
