During development of the support for the temperature sensor on the GPY
PHY, I've noticed that there is ususually a loop over the name to
replace any invalid characters. Instead of open coding it in the drivers
provide a convenience function.

changes since v3:
 - don't return NULL but ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM)
 - check !dev in devm_ variant

changes since v2:
 - doc update
 - dropped last three patches, the net patches will be submitted
   seperately

changes since v1:
 - split patches
 - add hwmon-kernel-api.rst documentation
 - move the strdup into the hwmon core
 - also provide a resource managed variant
