Almost. Unfortunately, gpio_request_array doesn't do much with "label'
portion of a descriptor, except to use it when displaying information
about GPIOs.

What I am doing here as well is exposing those GPIO in a very
primitive way by calling

export_env_ull(signal->name, signal->gpio);

and so it becomes possible to do things like

gpio_set_value ${soc_sw_rstn} 0

instead of having to use numeric value to designate desired GPIO. If
there's a way this can be done better or if there a good change we can
make to gpio_request_array(), I am more than happy to change this
code.

Heh, I added this portion of the code because I was having exactly the
opposite issue, but I see your point.

Thank you for the suggestion, if it is all the same to you I think
I'll just drop the preprocessor check, though. DEBUG_LL is more of a
debugging feature that very few people would use and switching to PBL
console would mean a bunch of additional work.

Thanks,
