Thanks!

I looked at it, but decided not to for a few reasons:

- For systems that are in the early stages of a porting effort (like
this one currently is), I'm still referring to hardware schematics
fairly often, and using the same identifiers in software that are
used in the schematics simplifies things by avoiding an extra
translation step between the two.

- Most of the GPIO-related userspace components (that I'm dealing with
anyway, e.g. x86-power-control and host-error-monitor) already have
their own GPIO line-name configuration/remapping mechanisms that need
to be set up anyway.

- There's a solid mix of GPIOs that would be covered by the naming
guidelines and others that aren't; having a mix of the two styles
seems a bit awkward to me.

That said, I sympathize with the motivation behind it and I'm not
vehemently opposed on the whole, so if there's a strong preference to
follow that scheme I could probably be talked into changing it.
