of_get_gpio() might return -EPROBE_DEFER meaning that the driver
providing the gpio isn't ready yet. If that happens for the first gpio
the resulting kernel output without this patch is:

        w1-gpio somename: Failed to parse DT
        platform somename: Driver w1-gpio requests probe deferral

The first message is misleading and so is suppressed with this patch.

Further if determining the gpio to switch the external pullup yields
-EPROBE_DEFER this error should be passed back to the caller instead of
just continuing without pullup.

Actually I'm not completely happy with this change because IMHO if a
device tree node contains:

        gpios = <&gpio5 0 0 4>;

where gpio5's #gpio-cells property is <2> I'd prefer to not bind the
driver with an error message instead of treating it as if

        gpios = <&gpio5 0 0>;

was specified. Still this patch is a correct first step.

So something like that would be nice:

        len = get_len_of_gpio_array();
        if (len < 0)
                /* not well-formed */
                return len;

        if (len == 1)
                go on without pullup
        else if (len == 2)
                go on with pullup
        else
                scream
