Okay, thanks. Will change these.

The idea was to have three cases:
1) Just give the gpio a name (desc->name). No hogging or initialization.
2) gpio-hog to initialize and acquire the GPIO for the whole time the
gpiochip is present.
2) gpio-initval to initialize the GPIO to a given value (as gpio-hog
does) but releasing the GPIO afterwards.

Okay, will change.

Right, will remove that.
