You have to check return code, otherwise you might end up with
uninitialized data.

Ditto.

Alphabetical order, please.

This should be documented in device tree bindings, otherwise it's a
linux software hook and I'm not sure it's the best what we can do
here.

This should be a registered property name (I see "ngpios" in the bindings).

Can you formulate this in an order to reduce ping-ponging lines across
the series?
