+The GPIO chip may contain GPIO hog definitions. GPIO hogging is a mechanism
+providing automatic GPIO request and configuration as part of the
+gpio-controller's driver probe function.

+Each GPIO hog definition is represented as a child node of the GPIO controller.

+Optional properties:
+- line-name: The GPIO label name. If not present the node name is used.
