OK what about reverting
commit 502df79b860563d79143be7a1453c2b3224cd836
"gpiolib: Warn on drivers still using static gpiobase allocation"

Until we have less drivers with static allocations?

In a way it is good that it is fixed, but it's not good if you get
snowed under by patches and discussions about this.
