This is starting to look good ...

+                       gpio-hog;

I don't like the state string.

Instead have boolean properties for all states.

line_b {
    gpio-hog;
    gpios = <6 0>;
    output-low;
    line-name = "foo-bar-gpio";
}

Then use of_property_read_bool() in the code to check which
state is to be selected intially. You can check that no mutually
exclusive state are selected, I don't like that an arbitrary string
select the state like that, if we do it that way an enumerator would
be better, I prefer bools.
