A set of functions such as gpiod_set_value() is available to work with
the new descriptor-oriented interface.

+The line will be hogged as soon as the gpiochip is created or - in case the
+chip was created earlier - when the hog table is registered.

Apart from this there are special GPIO drivers in subsystems like MMC/SD to
read card detect and write protect GPIO lines, and in the TTY serial subsystem
to emulate MCTRL (modem control) signals CTS/RTS by using two GPIO lines. The
