Now it's perfectly a single line.

	ret = i2c_smbus_write_word_data(client, VCNL4200_PS_CONF1, regval);

Ditto.

The 'if' is redundant, I think you can drop it at some point, probably to avoid
churn in the follow up

 -	if (device_property_read_u32(&client->dev, "proximity-near-level",
 -		data->near_level = 0;
 +	device_property_read_u32(dev, "proximity-near-level", &data->near_level);

Assuming data is allocated with kzalloc() or equivalent.

Now NULL can be moved to upper line.
