Actually, I have checked and see that gpio-tegra.c registers 256 gpios, but pinctrl-tegra124.c adds a range of only 251. I don't really remember where I got the 250 value from, sorry :( I don't see how that would cause any concrete problems, but maybe we should have a single authoritative source (not sure we can do so without breaking DT ABI though). > Right now, I think we get lucky and pinctrl ends up probing first (or at > least very early) anyway.

I think so, but aren't almost all those pins used as gpios? If so, then such a controller's driver will request the gpio it wants which will cause the gpio driver to be registered (and hopefully probed) if needed, which in turn will check that the corresponding pinctrl device has been registered. Or am I missing something?
