Is that the pin that msmgpio 26 is connected to on your board ?
I'd argue that the GPIO should be called xshutdown in that case, as DT usually
uses the pin name, but there's precedent of using well-known names for pins
with the same functionality. In any case you should update the DT bindings to
document the new property, and clearly explain that it describes the GPIO
connected to the xshutdown pin. Please CC the devicetree@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
mailing list on the bindings change (they usually like bindings changes to be
split to a separate patch).
