struct exar_iot2040_setup {
...rs485_config();
...setup_gpio();
};

struct exar_iot2040_setup iot2040_setup = {
...
};

DMI:

.driver_data = (void *)&iot2040_setup;

Above is just unfinished proposal, since I have noticed your new mail.
So, it seems we are on the same page.

One thing, I still would consider to use device properties instead of
platform data (with consideration of MFD framework usage).
