It was observed that by allowing pinctrl_amd to be loaded later in the boot process that interrupts sent to the GPIO controller early in the boot are not serviced. The kernel treats these as a spurious IRQ and disables the IRQ. This problem was exacerbated because it happened on a system with an encrypted partition so the kernel object was not accesssible for an extended period of time while waiting for a passphrase. To avoid this situation from occurring, stop allowing pinctrl-amd from being built as a module and instead require it to be built-in or disabled.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
