[PATCH 1/4] gpiolib: Add gpiochip_find_by_name() and gpio_find_by_chip_name()

Currently there is no way for drivers to request a GPIO on a particular
gpio chip. This makes it hard to support multiple GPIO controllers
with dynamic GPIO and interrupt numbering, such as with CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ.

Make it easier for device drivers to find GPIOs on a specific gpio_chip
by adding two functions: gpiochip_find_by_name() and gpio_find_by_chip_name().

Note that as gpiochip_find() is already exported, we may as well
export gpiochip_find_by_name() too.
