gpio_hog_probe_all is invoked by init_sequence_r in board_r.c. If device_probe fails for any gpio-hog, boot hangs with the following error:
initcall sequence 00000000fffc8e18 failed at call 000000004023b320 (err=-121) ### ERROR ### Please RESET the board ###
gpio-hog-optional allows the boot sequence to continue if device_probe fails for optional gpio-hog(s).
