[PATCH 2/2] gpio: shared: ignore GPIO hogs when traversing the device tree

From: Bartosz Golaszewski

Date: Wed Nov 26 2025 - 11:49:19 EST


From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@xxxxxxxxxx>

GPIO hogs have a "gpios" property but it's not a phandle to a remote
node - it references the parent GPIO controller. We must not try to
parse it as a phandle.

Fixes: a060b8c511ab ("gpiolib: implement low-level, shared GPIO support")
