-The GPIO chip may contain GPIO hog definitions. GPIO hogging is a mechanism

-gpio-controller's driver probe function.
+The GPIO chip may contain GPIO definitions. These define properties for single
+GPIOs of this controller.
 
-Each GPIO hog definition is represented as a child node of the GPIO controller.
+There are two types of GPIO definitions:
+
+- GPIO hogging is a mechanism providing automatic GPIO request and
+  configuration as part of the gpio-controller driver's probe function. The
+  GPIO is held until the gpio-controller is removed.
+- GPIO initialization provides an automatic initialization to known save
+  values. The GPIO can be used normally afterwards.
+
+Each GPIO 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.
+
+Optional properties:
+- line-name:  The GPIO label name. If not present the node name is used.
+
+ The following two options are mutually exclusive. One of them should be
+ specified, but not both:
+- gpio-hog:   A property specifying that this child node represent a GPIO hog.
+- gpio-initval: This GPIO should be initialized to the specified configuration.
+
+ The following three options are mutually exclusive. They change the setting of
+ the GPIO pin. One of them should be specified:
 - 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.
