The TWL4030 GPIO driver has a custom platform data .set_up()
callback to call back into the platform and do misc stuff such
as hog and export a GPIO for WLAN PWR on a specific OMAP3 board.

Avoid all the kludgery in the platform data and the boardfile
and just put the quirks right into the driver. Make it
conditional on OMAP3.

I think the exported GPIO is used by some kind of userspace
so ordinary DTS hogs will probably not work.
While I haven't tested it (nor can I) so don't take my word for it, it
looks to me as if regular DTS hogs *should* work. If anything, the way
this quirk is implemented in your patch moves the export past the chip
registration, while ordinary hogs would be applied when the chip is
first added.

Am I missing something?
DTS hogs cannot do gpiod_export(), that's the problem. I think the OMAP2
(Nokia phones?) need those exported GPIOs.

Ah, it needs to manipulate the GPIOs then. Get it. I don't have a
better idea either.
