Can I help in the debugging process?

Reading the code once again I'd guess
of_device_get_match_data(&gpio_pdev->dev) could be the root cause. We
are accessing match data for the GPIO device while probing the pinctrl
device. Maybe something isn't initialised properly yet? The rest looks
rather harmless, I've checked all conditional expressions.

Thanks,
