Indeed the i.MX changes were made before your the rework.

The reason imx_pinctrl_probe_dt got moved around is because
devm_pinctrl_register is the one that initializes the radix trees that
are needed when probing the dt.

Not sure how to fix it though since we can't move the dt probing before
radix tree init.
