The problem with that is the description used when acquiring the GPIO
is just "wlan_input", "wlan_output", or "wlan_control". There's
nothing to indicate what those individual pins do (perhaps one is a
reset signal, one is a regulator enable, etc.?) By requiring separate
nodes for each GPIO, then the node name can provide a meaningful
semantic name/description for each GPIO, which provides much more
information.
of the gpio via this property.
The property names is "line-name" which is good for one string. We can
support other property "line-names" with multiple string per GPIO index.
line-names = "wlan-reset", "wlan-enable";
