Yes, that is exactly my problem here. I'm using the GPIO as an IRQ
source.

As a quick-fix (hack) I wrote directly to the registers in gpio_probe()
to enable GPIO banks. I now geht this:

And it works for me. _But_ when I do enable regulator twl4030
(CONFIG_REGULATOR_TWL4030=y) in my config these registers get reset:

[    2.935455] smsc911x_open, 1537, CM_CLKSEL_PER 0x48005040: 0x000000ff
[    2.942291] smsc911x_open, 1540, CM_ICLKEN_PER 0x48005010: 0x00040fff
[    2.949066] smsc911x_open, 1543, CM_FCLKEN_PER 0x48005000: 0x00000000

And the IRQ source for the network chip (smsc911x) is disabled :-(

Do you have any idea how to ("quick") fix this?

 Thanks
