[PATCH] gpiolib: devprop: Warn if gpio-line-names is too long
From: Stephen Boyd
Date: Thu Apr 23 2020 - 16:34:39 EST
Some DT authors (including myself) have messed up the length of
gpio-line-names and made it longer than it should be. Add a warning here
so that developers can figure out that they've messed up their DT and
should fix it.
