[PATCH v2 0/2] gpio: of: Add DT overlay support for GPIO hogs

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

	Hi all,

As GPIO hogs are configured at GPIO controller initialization time,
adding/removing GPIO hogs in Device Tree overlays currently does not
work.  Hence this patch series adds support for that, by registering an
of_reconfig notifier, as is already done for platform, i2c, and SPI
devices.

Changes compared to v1[1]:
  - Drop RFC state,
  - Document that modifying existing gpio-hog nodes is not supported.

After I posted v1, Frank created a unittest[2] to demonstrate the
problem, and to verify to my series fixes it (thanks a lot!).

Thanks!
