Revisiting this - the label DT attribute is purely optional, and
provides context for the hardware instance.
This code as written appears to add a "label" file to all devices,
irrespective of if the label is set in the DT.or not, with blank
labels where  the attribute is not present.
The visibility of the sysfs attribute should be controlled so that it
only appears if label is present in the DT.
