NICE! And this is what I want too.

We need to remove some rough edges:

We already have gpio_name_to_desc() which does something
similar but across all chips.

Can we break out one gpiodev_name_to_desc() like
yours, and refactor gpio_name_to_desc() to just call
that for each chip?

Otherwise I'm OK with this.
