I think it would make most sense to extend the current function in
avrpart.c, and export it.

As all the other exported functions in that file start with avr_, so
in order to reduce the namespace pollution (this file is part of the
backend library), I suggest renaming the function into avr_pin_name()
by the same time.  It's only used once by now, so it's not a big
effort to change the name.

Please make it return a "const char *" (rather than just "char *"),
too, as it returns a pointer to a constant string.
