I think what Mark means is, that we define some pinctrl_initcall which
is a macro to subsys_initcall (or arch_initcall or similar). We apply this
to all pinctrl drivers including the one from Mediatek. This way at least
we have a common method and changing the behaviour in the future is
easier to handle.

That would be pinctrl_soc_initcall() in that case. Just pinctrl_initcall()
would assume it's for all drivers and there is a bunch of them that are just
fine with simple device_initcall()s.

OTOH it might be easier to just have an initcall (or fiddle with the
link order) for everything to avoid having to think about which drivers
things apply to.
