Thanks for the reminder. AFAICS from that discussion we kinda agreed
on the names being excluded from the ABI path. Hence there is good and
bad news.

Bad one: NAK to this patch.
Good one: Please, fix this in the gpiolib respective functions to make
it once for all.

Disclaimer, I'm not a maintainer of this subsystem, I might be
perfectly wrong in my understanding of the state of affairs, let's
hear what Linus and Bart can tell us about the subject. Above are just
my wishes as a contributor to and consumer of this subsystem on how
things should be done.
