Some subsystems, such as pinctrl, allow continuing to defer probe indefinitely. This is useful for devices that depend on resources provided by devices that are only probed after the init stage. One example of this can be seen on Tegra, where the DPAUX hardware contains pinmuxing controls for pins that it shares with an I2C controller. The I2C controller is typically used for communication with a monitor over HDMI (DDC). However, other instances of the I2C controller are used to access system critical components, such as a PMIC. The I2C controller driver will therefore usually be a builtin driver, whereas the DPAUX driver is part of the display driver that is loaded from a module to avoid bloating the kernel image with all of the DRM/KMS subsystem. In this particular case the pins used by this I2C/DDC controller become accessible very late in the boot process. However, since the controller is only used in conjunction with display, that's not an issue. Unfortunately the driver core currently outputs a warning message when a device fails to get the pinctrl before the end of the init stage. That can be confusing for the user because it may sound like an unwanted error occurred, whereas it's really an expected and harmless situation. In order to eliminate this warning, this patch allows callers of the driver_deferred_probe_check_state() helper to specify that they want to continue deferring probe, regardless of whether we're past the init stage or not. All of the callers of that function are updated for the new signature, but only the pinctrl subsystem passes a true value in the new persist parameter if appropriate.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
