Ah, I think I see the problem. Can you test the following diff:

diff --git a/drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c b/drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c
index 02be0ba1a402..0fdd4ad242bd 100644
--- a/drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c
+++ b/drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c
@@ -695,10 +695,15 @@ EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(gpiochip_line_is_valid);

 	struct gpio_device *gdev = to_gpio_device(dev);

 	unsigned int i;

-	for (i = 0; i < gdev->ngpio; i++)
-		cleanup_srcu_struct(&gdev->descs[i].srcu);

+		cleanup_srcu_struct(&desc->srcu);

 	ida_free(&gpio_ida, gdev->id);
 	kfree_const(gdev->label);

and let me know if it fixes the issue?
