From: Quentin Schulz <quentin.schulz at cherry.de>
A bunch of code calls info->dev, mostly dev_* messages and devm_kzalloc.
The former can be passed a NULL device and _dev_printk handles this just
fine.
The latter ignores the dev argument whenever !CONFIG_IS_ENABLED(DEVRES)
which was true in most cases until we made CONFIG_DEVRES mandatory for
U-Boot proper in commit 217cf656e249 ("dm: core: Default to using DEVRES
outside of xPL"). Failing to set info->dev before it's used by
devm_kzalloc results in crashes, therefore let's set info->dev before it
can be used.

This was apparently tested by Ben[1] but it'd be nice if you could test
again and give your Tested-by as I do not own any board with such
pinctrl device.
