The GPIO name might be different in different use cases. For my case,
it is "vbus_en", but other cases should use the different name.

On ACPI compatible platforms, GPIO resources are reported via ACPI
tables and (devm_)gpiod_get() hides the APCI complexity and returns
the gpiod according to "gpio_name".
