I think that's because it's a trivial "Shell Programming 101"
homework assignment, and we have a general policy against doing
people's schoolwork for them ...

Here are two clues for you:  "for DIR in gpiochip*"; and then
"LABEL=$(cat $DIR/label)".  I'm quite certain that if you put
aside your demonstrably strong desire to flame, you can solve
that little problem.

Or perhaps the issue here is just bikeshedding.  Regardless,
the signal-to-noise ratio is way too low..
