As mentioned and discussed in [1] extend_name should not be used for full channel labels (and most drivers seem to only use it to express a short type of a channel) as this affects sysfs filenames, while the label name is supposed to be extracted from the *_label sysfs file instead. This appears to have been unclear to some drivers as extend_name is also used when read_label is unset, achieving an initial goal of providing sensible names in *_label sysfs files without noticing that sysfs filenames are (negatively and likely unintentionally) affected as well. Point readers of iio_chan_spec::extend_name to iio_info::read_label by mentioning deprecation and side-effects of this field.
