Unfortunately, you can't change what you document, so picking something
correct now is needed - even if the driver doesn't use it yet.

Rather than a custom property, the tsl2772 uses led-max-microamp:
tsl2772.yaml
46: led-max-microamp:
81: led-max-microamp = <100000>;

I wonder if the same should be done here, or if there should be an leds
subnode? Perhaps the IIO folks can comment on that.

Please expand on "general IO". Docs appear to suggest this is used for
synchronisation.

Additionally, I think this name will make the gpio somewhat difficult to
request. Calling it "sync-gpios" or w/e will permit the usual gpiod
functions being used.

Valid Sashiko comment here I believe.

Thanks,
