Hello, This a proposal for the GPIO hog concept described by Linus (Walleij). I know there were work in progress on this subject (Jiri and Ben at least: https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-gpio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg00864.html), so don't hesitate to point out if something similar has already been posted.
