[RFC PATCH] iio: core: provide a default value `label` property

[Nandor Han]

The label property is used to correctly identify the same IIO device
over reboots. The implementation requires that a value will be provided
through device-tree. This sometime could requires many changes to
device-trees when multiple devices want to use the label property.
In order to prevent this, we could use the device-tree node
name as default value. The device-tree node name is unique and
also reflects the device which makes it a good choice as default value.
This change is backward compatible since doesn't affect the users that
do configure a label using the device-tree or the ones that are not
using the labels at all.

Use the device-tree node name as a default value for `label` property,
in case there isn't one configured through device-tree.

Notes:
    Testing
    -------
    Using mx6sxsabresd dev board with device-tree:
    ```
    &adc1 {
        vref-supply = <&reg_vref_3v3>;
        label = "adc1";
        status = "okay";
    };
    
    &adc2 {
        vref-supply = <&reg_vref_3v3>;
        status = "okay";
    };
    ```
    1. Verify that label property is visible and readable:PASS
    > iio:device0 # ls -la label
    -r--r--r--    1 root     root          4096 Jan  1 00:00 label
    > iio:device0 # cat label
    adc1
    ```
    2. Verify that default label property is used for adc2 device: PASS
    ```
    > iio:device1 # cat label
    adc@2284000
    ```
