It looks like you are running an older version of uhd, which suggests an
older kernel version. The older driver claimed a few extra gpio's for
testing purposes.

I see:

address@hidden:~# ls /sys/class/gpio/
export    gpio16@   gpio173@    gpiochip128@  gpiochip32@  unexport
gpio114@  gpio164@  gpio175@    gpiochip160@  gpiochip64@
gpio15@   gpio168@  gpiochip0@  gpiochip192@  gpiochip96@

Note the extra gpio's exposed to user space. These are used by uhd for
signaling and configuring the clock generator.
