The attach method uses GPIO_GET_BUS() to get a "newbus" device that provides a pin. But on hints-based systems a GPIO controller driver might not be fully initialized yet and it does not know gpiobus hanging off it. Thus, GPIO_GET_BUS() cannot be called yet. The reason is that controller drivers typically create a child gpiobus using gpiobus_attach_bus() and that leads to the following call chain: gpiobus_attach_bus() -> gpiobus_attach() -> bus_generic_attach(gpiobus) -> gpioiic_attach(). So, gpioiic_attach() is called before gpiobus_attach_bus() returns. I observed this bug with nctgpio driver on amd64. I think that the problem was introduced in r355276. The fix is to avoid calling GPIO_GET_BUS() from the attach method. Instead, we know that on hints-based systems only the parent gpiobus can provide the pins. Nothing is changed for FDT-based systems.
