The problem is there already is a GPIO lookup table registered for
the "0000:00:02.0" device by intel_dsi_vbt_gpio_init() and there can
be only be one GPIO lookup table per device. So no matter how you
instantiate GPIO lookup tables it will not work.

The solution that I chose is to not instantiate a GPIO lookup table
at all and instead to extend the existing table with an extra entry.

Although thinking more about it I must admit that this is racy.

So a better idea would be to unregister the GPIO lookup
table registered by intel_dsi_vbt_gpio_init() after getting
the GPIOs there, that would allow instantiating a new one
from soc_exec_opaque_gpio() as it currently does and that
would be race free.

Ok, lets go with your v3.

I'll prepare a patch to move the unregistering of the existing
conflicting GPIO lookup from intel_dsi_vbt_gpio_cleanup()
to the end of intel_dsi_vbt_gpio_init() to avoid the conflict
we have there.

Note you still need the first part of my patch which is
an unrelated bugfix:
