More precise here is to extend the existing documentation with the examples and
explanation how GPIO subsystem in Linux is expecting those names to be (as I
explained in one thread to you that the property covers only line names from
the beginning to the first hole, when no name is provided, i.o.w. holes are not
accepted).
