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
