The warning from your dmesg output will not cause probe to fail.
If you look at the code for byt_gpio_direction_output, it will just print
a warning and continue [1]:
	WARN(readl(conf_reg) & BYT_DIRECT_IRQ_EN,
		"Potential Error: Setting GPIO with direct_irq_en to output");
I thought probe finishes successfully, but due to the warning in dmesg you
are not sure whether the IRQ GPIO pin can be used as output.
If probe fails, it must be for another reason than the direct_irq_en warning.

If the driver fails to initialize the GPIOs, it will at least print some
"Failed to get GPIO" warnings in dmesg. Do you have such messages in
dmesg or any additional information on why probe fails?

The current code will ignore GPIOs if they are not defined in ACPI
(see the check for -ENOENT), but does not ignore other error codes.
If you want to bypass all GPIO errors, you can use the code below.
