Yes, it's device apq8016-sbc, and the error message is like below. [ 1.317186] spmi spmi-0: PMIC arbiter version v2 (0x20010000) [ 1.324784] spmi spmi-0: failed to xlate sid = 0x0, periph = 0xc0, irq = 0: ee=0 but owner=2 [ 1.329430] spmi spmi-0: failed to xlate sid = 0x0, periph = 0xc0, irq = 0: ee=0 but owner=2 [ 1.337626] qcom-spmi-gpio: probe of 200f000.spmi:pm8916@0:gpios@c000 failed with error -22 I see that 'qcom,ee' property of spmi_bus is already <0>. Is that what you mean by ownership of those GPIOs? The pm8916_gpio is working fine on apq8016-sbc device with the current mainline kernel. It's not good to break the existing device without a very good. IMO, we should get this fixed before the patch is merged.
