Use 'propname' to be aligned with GPIO library usages.

This can be transformed to check the returned value from strscpy().

The correct (robust) call is with destination size. Which means here that you
may use 2-argument strscpy().

If it comes a new code (something else besides GPIOs and regulators) this will be a (small) impediment. Better to have a helper for each case and do

	ret = ..._gpiods();
	if (ret)
		...

Same for regulators and anything else in the future, if any.

This is quite a fragile assumption. Yes, it would work in 98% cases, but will
break if it's not true somewhere else.

Same Q, how do you monitor _all_ the drivers?

Can't you call the _array() variant here?

I would issue one message per class of the devices (GPIOs, regulators, ...)
