Some i2c devices such as PMICs need i2c bus available early.
Use subsys_initcall to improve i2c driver probe priority.

thanks for providing this patch.

Please try to be more specific, which devices/platform has been effected
by this issue. It would be nice to provide to kind of
link/reference/discussion.

Best regards

Hi, Thanks you!

Some I2C peripherals, like PMICs for voltage and power supply adjustment, need to be probed early
in the boot process to configure the system. Additionally, some boards have switches ,where some device need to be
chosen by a GPIO expander manipulating the corresponding GPIO pad. So GPIO expander also needs to be probed early
before these switched devices' driver probing. To guarantee their correct function, this patch was introduced.

This patch has been in our local repository for a long time, so I don't find any detailed documentation about its purpose or the platforms it affects.
Sorry about it. Since I2C is an important basic bus, many devices rely on it, so probed early seems reasonable, then I send it out.
