INTEL_SOC_PMIC is loading later than I915 failing the gpiod_get and
pwm_get calls in i915. Add a retry to give time for the INTEL_SOC_PMIC
to load. This was fine till now but broke in latest kernel. Maybe load
time for the INTEL_SOC_PMIC has increased.

Since the lookup tables for GPIO (panel enable) and PWM both are
exported by same intel_soc_pmic driver, just retrying for the driver to
load in intel_dsi_init is sufficient. By the time we come to
setup_backlight, pwm would have been exported as well.

Maybe we should play with initcalls here but I was not sure how it will
impact if I change it for PMIC driver. IIRC, this discussion came up from
Daniel at the time of original patches also but somehow did not close
decidedly and has come back as a regression.

The correct way to handle this is to bail out with -EPROBE_DEFER. This is
how this is meant to be, no amount of random retrying will fix this
properly for such dynamic inter-module depencies.

Yeah, you are right, retries are working pretty randomly. I made a quick changes all the way up to i915_driver_load returning -EPROBE_DEFER form intel_setup_outputs and it seems to work.


And yes this is going to be a world-class test for our module load unwind
code.

Well it seems to be working :) Will have a cleaned up patch for review. Also need to take care of this in the LPSS_PWM patches as well.
