I added dynamic printk and queried the relevant files. I didn't see any
dev_* or pr_* messages.

# dmesg | grep -i gpio

gpiochip_find_base: found new base at 244
gpiochip_add: registered GPIOs 244 to 255 on device: 0000:02:00.2
gpiochip_add: registered GPIOs 0 to 4 on device: sch_gpio_core
gpiochip_add: registered GPIOs 5 to 13 on device: sch_gpio_resume

The GPIO debugfs and SYSFS interfaces only show the GPIO from the PCH,
nothing from the SCH (CPU):

# cat /debug/gpio
GPIOs 244-255, 0000:02:00.2:

# ls /sys/class/gpio/
export       gpiochip244  unexport

Instrumenting gpiochip_export, I see:

gpiochip_export: base=0 ngpio=5 label=sch_gpio_core
gpiochip_add: registered GPIOs 0 to 4 on device: sch_gpio_core

gpiochip_export: base=5 ngpio=9 label=sch_gpio_resume
gpiochip_add: registered GPIOs 5 to 13 on device: sch_gpio_resume

So the calls to gpiochip_export for the sch driver are being made, and
my on-error instrumentation did not trigger.

Finally, I do see an "irq 16: nobody cared" with the sch driver as
the handler. It isn't clear to me that this would cause the chip not
to appear in sysfs, but I'm including it here for completeness:

irq 16: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)
