This is broken in character device approach from day 1 and being in use solely in sysfs. Character device interface has a line number as a part of its address, so the users better rely on it. Hence remove the misleading documentation. On top of that, there are no in-kernel users (out of 6, if I'm correct) for such names and moreover if one exists it won't help in distinguishing lines with the same naming as '%u' will also be in them and we will get a warning in gpiochip_set_desc_names() for such cases.
