If this ("(null)" vs static "gpios" string) is important, can we reduce
the patch to:

diff --git a/drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c b/drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c
index 76e0c38026c3..b868c016a9be 100644
--- a/drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c
+++ b/drivers/gpio/gpiolib.c
@@ -4151,7 +4151,7 @@ int gpiod_configure_flags(struct gpio_desc *desc, const char *con_id,
 
 	/* No particular flag request, return here... */
 	if (!(dflags & GPIOD_FLAGS_BIT_DIR_SET)) {
-		gpiod_dbg(desc, "no flags found for %s\n", con_id);
+		gpiod_dbg(desc, "no flags found for %s\n", con_id ?: "gpios");
 		return 0;
 	}
 

instead of plumbing the names through?

Although this (and the original fix patch) are losing information, in
the sense that "(null)" explicitly communicates that caller used
default/NULL conn_id, and not something like "gpios-gpios".

Thanks.
