Can you give an example of the suggested change?

[Thang] The BMC_I2C4_O_EN GPIO is used in kernel only which enabling 
access to all I2C devices in I2C4 bus, like FRU EEPROM. As it is used as 
gpio-hog, no userspace access is allowed/intended. It can't be 
configured in userspace as FRU EEPROM is probed only in kernel boot.

[Thang] I am aware of this GPIO naming convention document. But I think 
it is to define common name for special GPIOs that applications can use.

[Thang] is there any application to use this pin name?
