This happens for the spi-imx driver when running a dt-enabled kernel on a non-dt machine on Linux 4.0. Among the still supported stable versions only 4.4 and 4.9 are affected. (However the spi-imx driver doesn't call of_get_named_gpio() since v4.8-rc1 (commit b36581df7e78 ("spi: imx: Using existing properties for chipselects")) any more, but the problem might still affect other users of of_get_named_gpio().)
In 4.14-rc1 this problem is gone with commit 7eb6ce2f2723 ("gpio: Convert to using %pOF instead of full_name"). This commit however doesn't seem sensible to backport as it depends on ce4fecf1fe15 ("vsprintf: Add %p extension "%pOF" for device tree") which doesn't trivially apply to v4.4.
