I'm a bit late to the party but here's my review.

I would skip the names of the enum types if we're not reusing them anywhere.

In v1 this flag is also set if the line is used by user-space. Maybe a
simple GPIOLINE_FLAG_V2_USED would be better?

As I said elsewhere - bitfield is fine here for me: for instance a single u64.

Maybe debounce_time for clarity?

Maybe num_lines would be clearer?

Same here for bitfield. And maybe reuse this structure in
gpioline_config for default values?

I'd specify in the comment the type of clock used for the timestamp.
