fwnode_connection_find_matches() "returned" count number of sw_devs, we
need to put_device() them all. So that form could have been

	while (count--)

but as it's not the typical "unrolling" I think the untypical form is
more useful.

In the event that the USB Type-C controller probes before some of the
muxes, this array might contain one or more entries of EPROBE_DEFER.

So we need to either put this conditional here, or we need to loop
through all entries to turn IS_ERR() into NULL, for the sake of not
having it here.

So to me this looks cleaner...
