At least the IIO ones would have made much the same amount of sense for
dt, just that they weren't having in the first place. I'd prefer that
as a precursor patch to make the rest much more readable.

I only looked in detail at the iio bit. A few changes requested.

Does this have a default? If so the pattern we've recently be setting on for IIO
is
if (device_property_present(dev, "ti,resistor-value-ohm"))
ret = device_property_read_u32();
if (ret) //corrupt property in some fashion
return ret;
} else {
//set default
}
If there is no default then check it unconditionally.

That's ugly. Better as

ret = lm3533_update(lm3533, LM3533_REG_ALS_CONF,
als->pwm_mode ? LM3533_ALS_INPUT_MODE_MASK : 0,

Though if there wasn't a layer hiding the regmap, it could just have been

ret = regmap_assign_bits(lm3533->regmap, LM3533_REG_ALS_CONF,
LM3533_ALS_INPUT_MODE_MASK, als->pwm_mode);;

which would have been nicer.

I'm not particularly keen on the swashing of the helpers being in a patch
that is about switching the binding type as feels largely unrelated.
Should really have been a precursor, easier to review patch.

Same applies here. Mostly an unrelated change as the only thing switching that
is related to the patch is one parameter.

I'm not sure why this was there in the first place. Hence not sure if it
is safe to remove.

I'd prefer explicit setting of the default to be visible before this, or
the property_present pattern I mention in the IIO review above.

I didn't look any further (busy day!)
