I know this is essentially just renaming currently existing properties. But these mutual exclusive (boolean) properties make it impossible to change them in DT overlay. Any ideas how to support changing the output level onGPIO hogs in DT overlay? Despite that, this change looks sensible to me.

If not present the node name is used. -- TQ-Systems GmbH | Mühlstraße 2, Gut Delling | 82229 Seefeld, Germany Amtsgericht München, HRB 105018 Geschäftsführer: Detlef Schneider, Rüdiger Stahl, Stefan Schneider http://www.tq-group.com/
