[PATCH] gpiolib: Introduce "linux,gpiochip-name" property for device tree of GPIO controller.

[egyszeregy@xxxxxxxxxxx]

From: Benjamin Szőke <egyszeregy@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Optionally, a GPIO controller may have a "linux,gpiochip-name" property.
This is a string which is defining a custom suffix name for gpiochip in
/dev/gpiochip-<name> format. It helps to improve software portability
between various SoCs and reduce complexities of hardware related codes
in SWs.
