Being able to assign gpio line names dynamically is a feature
that could be used by drivers that do not have the exact naming
(e.g. through the DTB/DTBO) at probing time.
An example of this is the RP1 driver that populates the DT
at late time through a DT overlay. In this case a custom overlay
can be loaded from userspace with the gpio line names.
Export gpiochip_set_names() to allow refreshing the gpio line
names from the driver module.
