Currently the globally unique name is the GPIO number but that's not stable since it gets dynamically assigned. > I think what we want here is a system-wide unique identifier for > each gpio line that may get represented in debugfs, and use a new > DT mechanism to communicate that. We've mostly been using things based off dev_name() for stability.
