[.02$/nit] I wonder if GPIOCHIP_NAME is actually an essential
part of kernel-user contract [1-2], in which case it could
probably be moved to include/uapi/linux/gpio.h ?

Regardless:

[1] linux (v5.4) git grep '"gpiochip' -- tools/
tools/gpio/lsgpio.c:                    if (check_prefix(ent->d_name, "gpiochip")) {
tools/testing/selftests/gpio/gpio-mockup-chardev.c:             if (check_prefix(ent->d_name, "gpiochip")) {
