This is precisely a super I/O driver (gpio-f7188x) which, when used with concurrent accesses on an SMP machine triggered the issue which prompted this patch.
In case information on the original issue is desired: My original report (ignore attached patch, it was rejected as it breaks other chips supported by this driver): http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.gpio/10204 My test procedure (second half of the mail), which I used to validate the patch against 4.1: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.gpio/10216 Simon Guinot & Vincent Donnefort debugging results: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.gpio/10521
