Add support from DT to name the gpio-keys driver to have
desired key name for this input system.
This helps userspace code to get name and perform proper
event to key mapping in some of cases. In android, the
user space map the key code to application code using
key character layout and for this it uses the name of
input system.
Why is specifying the key code not enough?
This is the name for input system instead of individual keys.
In android system, the key mapping is done in user space. By having name
offers to specifying the customized key character layout instead of
generic one form android which is fall-back.

Would "label" work for you instead?
"label" means node name?
Either way, I'm concerned this doesn't work for other key bindings
which have multiple keys.
This is not for the individual keys, its for input system like
/sys/class/input/input0/name.
