This patch, which is now in -next as 1f2bcb8c8ccd, appears to cause a boot regression on imx8mp-verdin-nonwifi-dahlia with arm64 defconfig. We die with an invalid pointer dereference after registering the GPIOs: [ 1.973513] gpio gpiochip3: Static allocation of GPIO base is deprecated, use dynamic allocation. [ 1.982467] Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000078 ...

None of my other platforms (including the i.MX8MP EVK with the same SoC in it) are showing similar issues, I've not checked the CI systems and haven't done any investigation beyond checking that the commit does look like it could plausibly be related to the symptom.
