Hmmm. Just looked into the gpio-hog mechanism and the patch you have
implemented for MSM driver. I agree with you on replacing
gpiochip_add_pin_range() with gpio-ranges property. But I'm curious
whether we should document it somewhere or not (probably in [1]).

Anyway I will send the v2 incorporating your suggestion.

Thanks,
Mani
