This patch adds a sysfs attribute 'name' to gpios that were exported. It
exposes the newly added name property of gpio descriptors.

Signed-off-by: Markus Pargmann <redacted>

The previous hunk adding the name to the sysfs ABI should
be in this patch.

But I have a problem with this. What is the rationale? The directory
that contains the file already has this name. Why should this
information be duplicated?

No reason for that. As described in the summary, I wasn't sure if this
makes sense but included it anyway from the last series version. So it
can simply be dropped.

Thanks,

Markus
