Normally, having error be the indented path like this is preferred, but I think
this case is an exception since the following is "normal" code path, not error
return path.
I would understand this better as:
st->gpio_sync_in = ad7768_trigger_source_get_gpio(dev, fwnode);
if (!IS_ERR(st->gpio_sync_in))
/* The trigger is a GPIO, our job is done here. */
goto out_put_node;

As Andy pointed out, this is a bit odd. Technically, we should be allowing any
trigger provider with the right capabilities. But we don't have a trigger
subsystem yet to make that easy. Since we can already handle the SYNC_IN is
wired to SYNC_OUT of the same chip above by omitting the trigger-sources
property, I would just make a TODO here and always return the not supported
error for now.
