Suggestion: handle the errors in the if condition, and let normal
execution be visible at the first level of indentation of the
function. I.e:

    if (r != 0) {
        gpiod_put_array(s->gpio, num_gpios);
        return r;
    }

    pdev->dev.platform_data = s;
    return 0;

This is how previous errors are handled in this function and is
generally a good thing to do as it makes the function's logic easier
to follow.
