Ugh, my bad. But it actually has been wrong since the patch
a96aa64cb5723 ("leds/led-class: Handle LEDs with the same name"),
which enabled LED core to amend the LED name just beforehand
the registration of a LED class device.

It seem that the only proper solution would be introducing a new
pre_register_cdev(const char *name) op to the LED core, that would allow
drivers to come up with their implementation thereof. In this particular
case leds-gpio driver would need to put there gpiod initialization.

The pre_register_device op would need to be called (when available)
from the led_classdev_register_ext() after calling
led_classdev_next_name() and before device_create_with_groups().
The op would have to be passed the final_name variable then.

If there are no objections I can come up with a fix, but no
sooner than at the weekend.
