Are you doing a string match on the pin name from the structures returned by ioctls on the gpiochip's chardev? This won't work if someone decides to specify the semantic name of the line in the devicetree like I linked to in my previous reply. Your best bet is to map the pin name from the JSON to the pin index on the gpiochip. Doing it any other way is fragile.
