Since the fwnode is the same for all banks of the same device, each bank
repeats the first MTK_BANK_WIDTH label names in each bank.

This commit populates the gc.names member of each bank from the
device-tree node within the driver. This overrides the default behavior
since devprop_gpiochip_set_names() will only be called if names is NULL.
