Thanks!

Have you considered using the openbmc gpio naming scheme for the
gpio-line-names?


I looked at it, but decided not to for a few reasons:

- For systems that are in the early stages of a porting effort (like this one currently is), I'm still referring to hardware schematics fairly often, and using the same identifiers in software that are used in the schematics simplifies things by avoiding an extra
   translation step between the two.

- Most of the GPIO-related userspace components (that I'm dealing with anyway, e.g. x86-power-control and host-error-monitor) already have their own GPIO line-name configuration/remapping mechanisms that need to be set up anyway.

- There's a solid mix of GPIOs that would be covered by the naming guidelines and others that aren't; having a mix of the two styles seems a bit awkward to me.

That said, I sympathize with the motivation behind it and I'm not vehemently opposed on the whole, so if there's a strong preference to follow that scheme I could probably be talked into changing it.
