I agree: makers and tinkerers definitely need this flag and it will further emplasize the transition to the character device and to the v2 character device interface (which, by the way, is looking awesome, especially when taken into the picture the libgpiod changes and the new language bindings for libgpiod). So we need to add this to become ever more appealing for one-offs such as industrial control. Yours, Linus Walleij
