We can use the lin-names also but per disucssion on the patch V1 of
     gpio: of: Add support to have multiple gpios in gpio-hog

Markus suggested the discussion about the discussion 
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/3/10/194):
     "Device tree binding documentation for gpio-switch"


and on that, label is used.  Also for names, "label" is going to very 
common.

So I added new property "label" to support multiple names.
