ephy-reset, which uses a GPIO for enabling external ethernet phys, is broken. 
This patch fix the problem. 

This problem causes in boards with external phys with a reset pin connected to 
gpio, are
initialized without lan interfaces. 

The line 
ephy_reset.table[0].chip_label = gpio_chip_labels[hw_gpio / 32];
always returns bcm63xx-gpio.1. As a result of this, reset pins connected to 
gpios <32
will return messages "gpio X out of range", and ethernet fails to initialize.

The array *gpio_chip_labels[] should be initialized with different names for 
each element, 
otherwise sprintf will copy the label of the gpio chip for both elements at the 
same time. 
And the name of both elements of the array will be the same.

Using a different name on the second array element solves the problem.
