Hi Geert,
Thanks for your review!

Thank you for checking this!

Ack :)
I will switch to:

	mux_state = devm_mux_state_get_optional(dev, NULL);
	if (IS_ERR(mux_state)) {
		return PTR_ERR(mux_state);
	} else if (mux_state) {
		ret = mux_state_select(mux_state);
		if (ret)
			return dev_err_probe(dev, ret, "Failed to select USB mux\n");

		ret = devm_add_action_or_reset(dev, rcar_gen3_phy_mux_state_deselect,
					       mux_state);
		if (ret)
			return dev_err_probe(dev, ret,
					     "Failed to register USB mux state deselect\n");
	}

In v5.


Kind Regards,
Tommaso
