I believe the agreement (as mentioned in this file) is to keep sorted by config
names, so CONSUMER is definitely should be earlier than SIM.

Wrong header. Use mod_devicetable.h.

And general recommendation is to revisit this block and refine it accordingly.

No comma in terminator line.

is shorter, but what is showing better the intention is

Why not

?

Would it make sense to request GPIOs via devm_gpiod_get_array() and then try
the rest on them in a loop?

So, offset here may be negative. Is it okay?

Can it be both flags set?

I prefer to see some kind of the array of constant string literals and do
sysfs_match_string() here

	lookup->flags &= ~(GPIO_OPEN_DRAIN | GPIO_OPEN_SOURCE);
	flag = sysfs_match_string(...);
	if (flag < 0)
		count = flag
	else
		lookup->flags |= flag;

(or something similar). And respectively indexed access above.

The above is more tricky, but still consider similar approach.

Instead you may count nodes here and if 0, return an error, otherwise pass it
to the callee.

	if (live ^ gpio_consumer_device_is_live_unlocked(dev))

?

Isn't name will be duplicated via pr_fmt()?

If yes, can be shortened to

		pr_err("Failed to register the driver: %d\n", ret);
