Thank you for an update, my comments (besides what Bart has) below.

No blank line in between.

It also needs property.h.

This basically a duplication of reference to a parent device of GPIO chip.
See below.

These structures now can be located closer to the end of the driver
(exactly before first use).

I'm not sure why we need an additional structure to just memcpy() to the chip.
But here I have no strong opinion (perhaps the compiler even optimizes this).
