Hi Tony, this one appears to be merged incorrectly. The unreserve ended 
up in the gpmc_calc_timings() function. Here is a patch to fix.

Cheers

Subject: [PATCH] ARM: OMAP2+: Fix-up gpmc merge error

Commit "ARM: OMAP2+: Prevent potential crash if GPMC probe fails" added
code to ensure that GPMC chip-selects could not be requested until the
device probe was successful. The chip-selects should have been
unreserved at the end of the probe function, but the code to unreserve
them appears to have ended up in the gpmc_calc_timings() function and
hence, this is causing problems requesting chip-selects. Fix this merge
error by unreserving the chip-selects at the end of the probe, but
before we call the gpmc child probe functions (for device-tree) which
request a chip-select.
