commit 533169d164c6b4c8571d0d48779f6ff6be593d72 upstream.

Some SoC might load the GPIO driver after the I2C driver and using the I2C bus recovery mechanism via GPIOs. In this case it is crucial to defer probing if the GPIO request functions do so, otherwise the I2C driver gets loaded without recovery mechanisms enabled.
