Fixes kernel hang during boot due to inability to set up IRQ on AXP313a.

The issue is caused by gpiochip_lock_as_irq() which is failing when gpio
is in unitialized state.

Solution is to set pinmux to GPIO INPUT in
sunxi_pinctrl_irq_request_resources() if it wasn't initialized
earlier.

Tested on Orange Pi Zero 3.

Should this have a Fixes: tag and should it be applied as an urgent fix?

Tag for stable?

Also: is there consensus with Andre that this is the way to proceed?
