Hi,

I'm trying to use SPL_OF_CONTROL with u-boot,dm-spl So I've marked
u-boot,dm-spl with pinctrl since MMC used the pinconfig.

The issue observed here is SPL handover to U-Boot proper and before
relocation U-Boot probed imx_thermal dm-driver through device_probe.
But the same time device_probe unnecessary probing all u-boot,dm-spl
marked nodes(which are strictly related for SPL) Since pinctrl marked
as u-boot, dm-spl the same probed and this might be the show-stopper.

Based on the data abort, the code hang at relocation code, relocate.S,
eventually stop calling uclass_get_device( was called in
arch/arm/mach-imx/cpu.c) during board_f or unmark u-boot,dm-spl make
U-Boot boots.

Below are relocation code hang point and Log dump, request for any inputs.

Relocation code:
----------------------

        /* relative fix: increase location by offset */
        add     r0, r0, r4
87800ac4:       e0800004        add     r0, r0, r4
        ldr     r1, [r0]
87800ac8:       e5901000        ldr     r1, [r0]       /* HANG */
        add     r1, r1, r4
87800acc:       e0811004        add     r1, r1, r4
        str     r1, [r0]
87800ad0:       e5801000        str     r1, [r0]
