To me anything that has '_do_' in their name sounds like an internal static
function that gets wrapped by the actual API function(s).

For instance it could be 

  int gpio_set_debounce_timeout()
  {
  	...
	gpiod_do_set_debounce()
	...

However, gpiod_set_debounce_timeout() or gpiod_set_debounce() sounds good
to me.
