If I don't use a hog I leave the system in an undefined state until the userspace can initialize the GPIOs. So all the userspace controlled GPIOs are undefined when all the drivers probe which can lead to problems if the GPIOs have any indirect influence on hardware components which drivers probe before the userspace. I think it is valid to somehow define a safe state for GPIOs in the devicetree while you can later change this state from userspace?!
