From df4878e969ccc047da45d2cd3af5d08031da1593 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Walleij Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2016 14:48:23 +0100 Subject: gpio: store reflect the label to userspace The gpio_chip label is useful for userspace to understand what kind of GPIO chip it is dealing with. Let's store a copy of this label in the gpio_device, add it to the struct passed to userspace for GPIO_GET_CHIPINFO_IOCTL and modify lsgpio to show it.
