The driver may sleep while holding a spinlock.
The function call path (from bottom to top) in Linux 4.19 is:

drivers/gpio/gpiolib-sysfs.c, 796:
mutex_lock in gpiochip_sysfs_unregister
drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c, 1455:
gpiochip_sysfs_unregister in gpiochip_remove
drivers/gpio/gpio-grgpio.c, 460:
gpiochip_remove in grgpio_remove
drivers/gpio/gpio-grgpio.c, 449:
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave in grgpio_remove

kernel/irq/irqdomain.c, 243:
mutex_lock in irq_domain_remove
drivers/gpio/gpio-grgpio.c, 463:
irq_domain_remove in grgpio_remove
drivers/gpio/gpio-grgpio.c, 449:
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave in grgpio_remove

mutex_lock() can sleep at runtime.

To fix these bugs, gpiochip_remove() and irq_domain_remove() are called
without holding the spinlock.

These bugs are found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by myself.

In general there is no need for locking in remove() callbacks. I guess
you can safely remove the spinlock here all together.

Okay, I will send a new patch.

Yeah I can tell this was generated automatically - what does this line
is expected to achieve?

Ah, sorry, this is my mistake.
I forgot to reset the kernel code before writing the patch...
