I probably missed the point why this function is needed at all, since
we always call only for a single property.

On top of that, why do we have this nasty strcmp()? Can't we simple do
something like

static int vcnl3020_get_and_apply_property(struct vcnl3020_data *data,
const char *prop, u32 reg, u32 div)
{
...
  val /= div;
...
}

static int vcnl3020_get_and_apply_led_current_property(struct
vcnl3020_data *data)
{
  /*
   * An example of conversion from uA to reg val:
   * 200000 uA == 200 mA == 20
   */
// Note by the way comments style
  return vcnl3020_get_and_apply_property(data, "vishay,led-current-microamp",
                                              VCNL_LED_CURRENT, 10000);
}

?
