[PATCH 2/6] gpio: move hogs into GPIO core

From: Bartosz Golaszewski

Date: Thu Mar 05 2026 - 04:53:27 EST


Refactor line hogging code by moving the parts duplicated in
gpiolib-acpi-core.c and gpiolib-of.c into gpiolib.c, leaving just the
OF-specific bits in the latter.

This makes fwnode the primary API for setting up hogs and allows to use
software nodes in addition to ACPI and OF nodes.
