Nice written driver, some small issues here and there, and I think in a couple
of versions it will stabilize and can be accepted.

No need, bitmap.h covers this.

No need, covered by platform_device.h.

No way this header should be in the mere drivers.

Also missing some headers, such as types.h.

Name it _update() to be aligned with the _read() and _write() above.

Correct pattern is to use

tmp = (tmp & ~mask) | (val & mask);

I don't see the need of this variable, use the value directly.

Make it last in the loop, it will be standard pattern. Otherwise it's hard to
read and find. Also it's recommended to split assignment and definition
for better maintenance.

unsigned int count;
...
count = 0;
for_each_set_bit(bit, scan_mask, indio_dev->masklength) {
...
count++;
}

Ditto.

Also looking to the cases of setting 0s, I would rather have a helper
_set_bits() / _clear_bits() in conjunction with _update().

Can compiler prove the buffer size is enough?

Why not use devm_kasprintf() instead?

Use _scoped() variant.

Make it a single line, here it's fine.

So, it seems this is very rarely can be not -ENOMEM, and hence it's 99.99% dead
code, just

return ret;
