I have the impression that numbering somehow changed here. In earlier kernel, omap_gpmc started at >400 and gpio-twl4030 also (both base = -1 now), so no conflicts with the static allocation of the soc-gpios. I have not investigated/bisected yet. But perhaps additionally, a patch ensuring that dynamic allocation starts at a higher number to not interfer with static numbering with be interesting.
That could then be more easily backportable.
Regards, Andreas
