Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.9 143/281] gpio: label descriptors using the
 device name

From: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@...aro.org>

[ Upstream commit 24e78079bf2250874e33da2e7cfbb6db72d3caf4 ]

Some GPIO lines appear named "?" in the lsgpio dump due to their
requesting drivers not passing a reasonable label.

Most typically this happens if a device tree node just defines
gpios = <...> and not foo-gpios = <...>, the former gets named
"foo" and the latter gets named "?".

However the struct device passed in is always valid so let's
just label the GPIO with dev_name() on the device if no proper
label was passed.
