Hi Vincent,

Vincent (Donnefort) finally succeeds to reproduce the issue. The setup
is quite simple. You only have to flood the gpio-f7188x driver via the
sysfs GPIO interface. Nothing more is needed.

After some debugging we discovered that the problem comes from the
__request_region function which don't handle very well concurrent
requests on a muxed region.

I will send a patch as a reply to this email. Please, can you test it ?

Thanks,

Simon
