Currently a GPIO lookup table can only refer to a specific GPIO by a
tuple, consisting of a GPIO controller label and a GPIO offset inside
the controller.

However, a GPIO may also carry a line name, defined by DT or ACPI.
If present, the line name is the most use-centric way to refer to a
GPIO.  Hence add support for looking up GPIOs by line name.

Implement this by reusing the existing gpiod_lookup infrastructure.
Rename gpiod_lookup.chip_label to gpiod_lookup.key, to make it clear
that this field can have two meanings, and update the kerneldoc and
GPIO_LOOKUP*() macros.

I kind of like this approach, however there are things here that
need to be considered: the line name is in no way globally unique,
and I think there are already quite a few GPIO chips that
have the same line names assigned for every instance of that
chip.

gpiochip_set_desc_names() only warns if there is a line with
the same name on the same gpio_chip.

I suppose we need to document that the line name look-up
will be on a first-come-first-served basis: whatever line
we find first with this name is what you will get a reference
to, no matter what chip it is on, and it is possible albeit
not recommended that some other chip has a line with the
same name.

Yours,
Linus Walleij

on a _different_ gpio chip.

Agreed.
