Although this is quite noisy, it is actually not an error. What it is
saying is that it failed to get the gpio and it will try again
later. -517 is EDEFERE. It failed, because at this point, the GPIO
driver has not yet loaded. Later in the boot the gpio driver
loaded. It around the time you see:

kirkwood-pinctrl f1010000.pinctrl: registered pinctrl driver

At some point, the kernel will retry again to load all drivers which
failed with EDEFER and the second time the regulator driver should
load.

Take a look in /sys/class/regulator/ See if there is a regulator
there with the name file containing "USB power".
