Doesn't exist yet :)  Proposal was to add support for a label attribute
to the iio core.

If we were going to do a generic binding it would have to be part of the
existing channel bindings. e.g.
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/iio/adc/adc.txt

But here it might be fine to use the gpio-names to fill one in.
Alternative would be to use a binding where the gpio was specified
as part of the per channel child nodes rather than as a single entry.
