Great! However all that info is readily available, and the 2 pieces of
info that stopped me from making things work are missing on that page:

"For Leap 15.0, you need to install it from 'hardware' repo. One click
installation is also available"

Ooops, not so. The hardware repo does not have libgpiod for any ARM
because it's disabled!!, and I dare say most such boards do not run
x86...

The sysfs interface fails to point out that the base number from
gpiochipN needs to be added to the board's GPIO number. I imagine this
will trip lots of people up, because all the RPi info doesn't mention it
because N is 0 on raspbian. I'll add it.

Of course faulty hardware (one would have thought there's a factory
test...) doesn't help.
