gpiolib: use kstrdup_const() for gpio_device label
Users often pass a pointer to a static string to gpiochip_add_data() family of functions. Avoid unnecessary memory allocations with the provided helper routine. While at it: use a ternary operator instead of an if else for brevity. Signed-off-by: Bartosz Golaszewski <brgl@bgdev.pl> Signed-off-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>
