Ack.  Then it's up to the driver to figure out what's best here.  My
suggestion on top of the proposed handling by Jonathan:

a) Use label if present.
b) Use node name if it's not adc-chan but strip the @xxx off it.
c) Use (currently unused) hardcoded name in the driver.

Unfortunately we have two drivers (VADC and ADC5) to deal with, where the
VADC driver is not affected by any of these filename problems, nor won't
be.  It doesn't have a label in Linux at all yet so there's no userspace
ABI to (un)break, only DT ABI.
