Your tree isn't building right (this is a dependency bug in our
makefiles somewhere) -- it hasn't built the new object file
with the gpio-key device in it, which means a runtime failure
when the device can't be found. You should be able to fix this
by deleting the aarch64-softmmu/config-devices.mak file from
your build tree and then doing a rebuild.

(One day I may get round to figuring out what happens here.
The oddity is that it doesn't cause problems for an
incremental rebuild, only for a build after a 'make clean'.)
