... else?

We should probably return an error if the property is not specified -
is there a point in hogging a GPIO without a direction? E.g:

if (of_property_read_string(np, "direction", &dir_val))
return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);

if (!strcmp(...

to use the nice pattern that errors (and not normal behavior) are the exception.

Rename to of_gpio_scan_hogs() maybe?

You are not propagating any error returned by __gpiod_hog here.

This function is not DT-specific. It should be included in gpiolib.c
and called from there before of_gpiochip_remove().

As I mentioned in the previous revision, this will prevent the module
from being unloaded with hogged GPIOs. You need to use
gpiochip_request_own_desc() here and gpiochip_free_own_desc() instead
of gpiod_put() to free hogged GPIOs. Therefore the call to
gpiod_request/gpiochip_request_own_gpio should be taken out of this
(very nice otherwise!) helper.

Better to catch that error earlier as I suggested IMHO.

No export needed for this gpiolib-private function.

Errr nope. __gpiod_hog is a gpiolib-private function, so it should be
in drivers/gpio/gpiolib.h.
