Thanks for an update, my comments below.

Redundant line.

I think Mark wants to have this in one line with C++ style of comments.

Perhaps sorted?

return spi_async(...);

This is a bit complicated.

Why not simple do

  if (IS_ERR(priv->mux)) {
    ret = PTR_ERR(...);
    ...
  }

?

I'm wondering why SPI core can't handle this by default (like GPIO
subsystem does).

return 0;

Comma is not needed in terminator line.
