One odd thing is that it looks like the GPIO controller you're
referencing is disabled.  On today's linuxnext, you can see the
"disabled":

arch/arm/boot/dts/socfpga.dtsi:         gpio at ff709000 {
arch/arm/boot/dts/socfpga.dtsi-                 #address-cells = <1>;
arch/arm/boot/dts/socfpga.dtsi-                 #size-cells = <0>;
arch/arm/boot/dts/socfpga.dtsi-                 compatible = "snps,dw-apb-gpio";
arch/arm/boot/dts/socfpga.dtsi-                 reg = <0xff709000 0x1000>;
arch/arm/boot/dts/socfpga.dtsi-                 clocks = <&per_base_clk>;
arch/arm/boot/dts/socfpga.dtsi-                 status = "disabled";
arch/arm/boot/dts/socfpga.dtsi-
arch/arm/boot/dts/socfpga.dtsi-                 gpio1: gpio-controller at 0 {
arch/arm/boot/dts/socfpga.dtsi-                         compatible =
"snps,dw-apb-gpio-port";
arch/arm/boot/dts/socfpga.dtsi-                         gpio-controller;

I don't see anyone else referencing that node to enable it.  ...to me
that means that you can't use GPIOs on GPIO1 (???).


...or did I find something wrong?
