Yeah I have managed to reproduce the issue on another on of our
boards now, so it definitely affects other drivers we have. Its a
bit sneaky since the GPIO core only seems to warn on the additional
free if you have some additional debug turned on which masks the
issue most of the time.

I will have a bit of a look and see what else might be affected.

Thanks,
