Cc Russell who faced this problem in the mvebu PCI driver (IIRC).

Rename this devm_fwnode_get_index_gpiod_from_child()
so that it fits the namespace of the other fwnode functions.

Take the opportunity to rename this devm_fwnode_get_gpiod_from_child()
as well.

I don't remember exactly why this wasn't added earlier, there was some
problem with referencing nodes that do not have devices.
