gpio: of: make it possible to name GPIO lines
Make it possible to name the producer side of a GPIO line using
a "gpio-line-names" property array, modeled on the
"clock-output-names" property from the clock bindings.
This naming is especially useful for:
- Debugging: lines are named after function, not just opaque
offset numbers.
- Exploration: systems where some or all GPIO lines are available
to end users, such as prototyping, one-off's "makerspace usecases"
users are helped by the names of the GPIO lines when tinkering.
This usecase has been surfacing recently.
The gpio-line-names attribute is completely optional.
Example output from lsgpio on a patched Snowball tree:
GPIO chip: gpiochip6, "8000e180.gpio", 32 GPIO lines
