Subject: [PATCH] i2c: i2c-mux-pca954x: only reset last channel on error

The current code is selecting the mux channel before each operation and
does not benefit from the cached value (data->last_chan).

That is because pca954x_select_chan() considers any non-zero values from
pca954x_reg_write() as an error. But this function (via __i2c_transfer)
returns either a negative error code or the positive number of messages
executed.

Only check "ret" against negative values to restore the caching.

Fixes: 463e8f845cbf ("i2c: mux: pca954x: retry updating the mux selection on failure")
