Looks pretty good.

One thing I'm concerned about is that this array

And the indices into the array defined here need to stay in sync. It is
really easy to mess this up by accident when a new entry is added. And it
will probably take a while to notice when this happens.

I see two options to solve this. Either define a enum with all the different
devices and use a symbolic name for the indices.

E.g.

enum mcp4531_type {
	MCP4531_502,
	MCP4531_103,
	...
};

static const struct mcp5431_cfg mcp5431_cfg[] = {
	[MCP4531_502] = {.wipers = 1, .max_pos = 128, .kohms =   5, },
	[MCP4531_103] = {.wipers = 1, .max_pos = 128, .kohms =  10, },
	...
};

static const struct i2c_device_id mcp4531_id[] = {
	{ "mcp4531-502",  MCP4531_502 },
	{ "mcp4531-103",  MCP4531_103 },
	...
};

Or the second option is to directly assign the cfg struct as the driver data
in the device ID table.

E.g.

#define MCP4531_CFG(_wipers, _max_pos, _kohms) \
	(kernel_ulong_t)&(struct mcp4531_cfg) { \
		.wipers = _wipers, .max_pos = _max_pos, .kohms = _kohms }

static const struct i2c_device_id mcp4531_id[] = {
	{ "mcp4531-502",  MCP4531_CFG(1, 128, 5) },
	{ "mcp4531-103",  MCP4531_CFG(1, 128, 10) },
	...
};
