I had thought it would be difficult to reproduce this and so difficult
to bisect.  Fortunately(??) not.  If I run my setup and cleanup scripts[1]
in a tight loop it occurs very readily.  Haven't bisected it yet, but did
test it on 6.1-rc1 and it Oopsed there too, so I would need to go back
further.  What was the initial release containing gpio-sim?

The sim setp is pretty simple - a couple of banks each with a few lines
and hogs.

Could you confirm that you can repeat the problem?
Otherwise I might start thinking there is something broken in my test
environment.

Btw, the loop script is:

#!/bin/env bash
for (( ; ; ))
do
	echo "create sim..."
	./basic_sim.sh
	echo "destroy sim..."
	./clean_sims.sh
done

Cheers,
Kent.
