Based on Boris Brezillion's work this is a reworked patch of his initial GPIO hogging mechanism. This patch provides a way to initially configure specific GPIO when the GPIO controller is probed. The actual DT scanning to collect the GPIO specific data is performed as part of gpiochip_add(). The purpose of this is to allow specific GPIOs to be configured without any driver specific code. This is particularly useful because board design are getting increasingly complex and given SoC pins can now have more than 10 mux values, a lot of connections are now dependent on external IO muxes to switch various modes. Specific drivers should not necessarily need to be aware of what accounts to a specific board implementation. This board level "description" should be best kept as part of the dts file.
