[PATCH 1/2] gpio: shared: ignore special __symbols__ node when traversing device tree

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

The __symbols__ node is a special, internal node and its properties must
not be considered when scanning the device-tree for shared GPIOs.

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

[Bartosz Golaszewski]

From: Bartosz Golaszewski <bartosz.golaszewski@linaro.org>

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.
