If the gpios are probed after this driver (e.g. if they come from an i2c expander) there is no need to print an error message.

Usually, gpio driver like pinctrl is very early probed because almost device drivers should use gpio. So, I have not any experience about this situation. Do you meet this situation on any h/w board?
Yes, I have experienced that sometimes on omap5+palmas based boards.
It seems to be this:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch...
The extcon_usb3 can potentially match this extcon-palmas driver at a moment where the palmas_gpio it is referring to has not yet been successfully probed. Then the palmas_gpio would return -EPROBE_DEFER.
AFAIK there is no guarantee for a specific sequence of drivers being probed and it is pure luck that in most cases the gpios are already probed.
BR and thanks, Nikolaus Schaller
