Geert,
One good thing is that it's noticing this being weird and ignoring it in your particular board. I *think* it interprets the "7" as a phandle and that's cpu@102 and realizes it's not a gpio-controller. For at least in your case, it's a safe failure.

Linus,
Ok I tried to understand what gpio-hogs means. It's not fully clear to me. But it looks like if a gpio-controller has a gpio-hog, then it doesn't have/need gpio-cells? Is that right?
So if a gpio-controller has a gpio-hog, can it ever be referred to by another consumer in DT using blah-gpios = ...? If so, I don't see any obvious code that's handling the missing gpio-cells in this case.
Long story short, please help me understand gpio-hog in the context of finding dependencies in DT.
Thanks, Saravana
