The problem with that is the description used when acquiring the GPIO
is just "wlan_input", "wlan_output", or "wlan_control". There's
nothing to indicate what those individual pins do (perhaps one is a
reset signal, one is a regulator enable, etc.?) By requiring separate
nodes for each GPIO, then the node name can provide a meaningful
semantic name/description for each GPIO, which provides much more
information.

On this case, we have already property "line-name" and passed the name
of the gpio via this property.
The property names is "line-name" which is good for one string. We can
support other property "line-names" with multiple string per GPIO index.

line-names = "wlan-reset", "wlan-enable";
There is currently a discussion about the future bindings for subnodes in GPIO
controller nodes. Please have a look at these two mail threads:

	"Device tree binding documentation for gpio-switch"
	"gpio: of: Add support to have multiple gpios in gpio-hog"

Second one is this patch only. Is it by intention?

The binding details about the gpio-switch and names are given by property "lable". I think property "label" is standard way of going forward i.e. I post similar patch for gpio-keys device name from DT after got review comment.

So here,  we can have the gpio names  under property "label" or "labels".


Or am I missing anything?
