Isn't that the name in the device tree?

Is

muxed-gpio-gpios = <&gpio0 2 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;

really satisfactory? Can you really make that change as you apply
w/o a re-review of the binding?

Or, are we talking about

glm->shared_gpio = devm_gpiod_get(dev, "muxed", GPIOD_ASIS);

and

muxed-gpios = <&gpio0 2 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;

?
