They are attached to different PCI functions, that should work just
fine.
However, this is somewhat weird in gscpcib.c:
corepcib:
#endif /* !SMALL_KERNEL */
/* Provide core pcib(4) functionality */
pcibattach(parent, self, aux);
#ifndef SMALL_KERNEL
/* Attach GPIO framework */
if (gpio_present)
config_found_ia(&sc->sc_dev, "gpiobus", &gba, gpiobus_print);
#endif /* !SMALL_KERNEL */
That looks as if the gpio attach uses same device structure as
the pcib, i.e. gpio attach overwrites the structure. Couldn't that be
the problem?
