I just saw this done in a similar way in some other driver and then
remembered your patch. When I reviewed this I wasn't sure if a warning
was good enough in this case. I've checked the kernel tree and it seems
like a majority handled this as failure instead of a warning. I took a
look at the pinctrl core and it seems like indeed if neither pinctrl is
enabled or if there isn't actually a pinmux configuration for a device,
then devm_pinctrl_get_select_default() will actually not return an
error, so in those cases where an error is returned it should actually
be handled as a fatal error.
I'm Cc'ing Linus Walleij, maybe he knows what to do.
