Subject: [PATCH 3/4] gpio: dt-bindings: Declare gpio-hog optional for GPIO subnodes
Date: Tue, 23 Feb 2016 08:54:48 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1456214089-13954-3-git-send-email-mpa@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1456214089-13954-1-git-send-email-mpa@pengutronix.de>

Reuse the GPIO hogging DT bindings for more generic specifications of
the GPIO. Therefore gpio-hog is declared optional.
