This already fourth (?) duplication among drivers.
Perhaps you want a helper:
gpiochip_dup_line_label_fallback() // naming is up to you
which will return the same for everybody and we don't need to hunt for
the different meaning of "Unrequested".

Also the word "Unrequested" is a bit doubtful as it can be a label, right?
Something with special characters / spaces / etc would suit better?
In any case it might require to add a warning (?) to the GPIO lib core
when label gets assigned if it clashes with the "reserved" word.
