gpiochip_set_desc_names() no longer rejects GPIO line name collisions.
Hence GPIO line names are not guaranteed to be globally unique.
In case of multiple GPIO lines with the same name, gpio_name_to_desc()
will return the first match found.
Update the comments for gpio_name_to_desc() and
gpiochip_set_desc_names() to match reality.
Fixes: f881bab038 ("gpio: keep the GPIO line names internal")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
