I'm getting these gpio_request kernel errors in syslog every 15 seconds - how to fix?

Every 15 seconds (well a fraction over actually) I get a block of 16 errors like this in syslog (and kern.log and debug):-1:

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this. It’s on a rather old BBB running some very simple bits of python monitoring some 1-wire devices.
