Do you mean gpiochip_export()?

Hrm, neither gpio-pch nor gpio-sch call gpiochip_export() directly. They
both call gpiochip_add() and that calls gpiochip_export() unconditionally.
As far as I could tell, both drivers call gpiochip_export().

I thought maybe the sch happened to early, maybe hitting the the
pre-driver-model-support note in gpiochip_export(), but it runs after
the pch chip for some reason, and that one is fine. I suppose I could be
failing on device_create or sysfs_create_group and just not seeing the
output. I'll try to get DYNAMIC_DEBUG and pr_debug in gpiolib.c working
(that always seems to be an unnecessarily arduous exercise).

That file contained only the gpiochip244 from the gpio-pch driver,
nothing from the sch.

Thanks!
