Several problems with this patch:

- Does not apply to v4.3-rc1
- Fixed that but noted that it just alters the call to gpiod_hog()
  in of_gpiochip_scan_hogs(), there is a local const char *name that
  should be removed too.
- Looking at of_get_gpio_hog() it is unclear to me that .name
  is set in the gpio_desc as desired. Please check this.

  Crucial code looks like this:

    if (name && of_property_read_string(np, "line-name", name))
        *name = np->name;

  i.e. is the line-name really propagated to gpiod->name?
  Are you sure you have tested this with a DTS using line-name
  and verified that it propagates properly?

Yours,
