This patch landed in today's linux-next as commit e623c4303ed11 
("gpiolib: sanitize the return value of gpio_chip::get_direction()"). It 
introduced a lockdep warning from the gpiochip_get_direction() function. 
IMHO it looks that gpiochip_add_data_with_key() lacks proper srcu 
locking/annotation for the newly created gpio chip. Here is the log:

gpio gpiochip1: Static allocation of GPIO base is deprecated, use 
dynamic allocation.
