Thank you!

Looking at other prototypes, it can be

static int gpio_sim_set_config(struct gpio_chip *gc, unsigned int offset,
			       unsigned long config)

...

Please do not dereference fwnode from the struct device, we have an API!
device_match_fwnode()

Can bus_find_device_by_fwnode() be used here?
