 property, and a #gpio-cells integer property, which indicates the number of
 cells in a gpio-specifier.
 
+The GPIO chip may contain GPIO hog definitions. GPIO hogging is a mechanism
+providing automatic GPIO request and configuration as part of the
+gpio-controller's driver probe function.
+
+Each GPIO hog definition is represented as a child node of the GPIO controller.
+Required properties:
+- gpio-hog:   A property specifying that this child node represent a GPIO hog.
+- gpios:      Store the GPIO information (id, flags, ...). Shall contain the
+	      number of cells specified in its parent node (GPIO controller
+	      node).
+Only one of the following properties scanned in the order shown below.
+This means that when multiple properties are present they will be searched
+in the order presented below and the first match is taken as the intended
+configuration.
+- input:      A property specifying to set the GPIO direction as input.
+- output-low  A property specifying to set the GPIO direction as output with
+	      the value low.
+- output-high A property specifying to set the GPIO direction as output with
+	      the value high.
+
+Optional properties:
+- line-name:  The GPIO label name. If not present the node name is used.
