Can be simply

	port_data->typec_mux = typec_mux_register(dev, &mux_desc);
	ret = PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(port_data->typec_mux);
	if (ret)
		dev_err(dev, "Mode switch register for port %d failed: %d\n",
			port_num, ret);

	return ret;

How often this function _can_ be called during the runtime?
If it's _possible_ to call it infinite times, consider *not* using devm.
