This is the allocation of the GPIO character device, which is allocated
in response to the creation of the GPIO chip, from .probe().
As that is done using devm_gpiochip_add_data(), the chardev should be
deallocated automatically by devm_gpio_chip_release() when
platform_device_unregister() is called.

Weird...
