You could add a short description on how to use the mutex
register here.

this is a bool function.

return id != I2C_SW_MUTEX_ID_CCPLEX;

I think this can be bool.

I guess this can be bool.

I would try a few times before giving up.

Besides, is there a chance where ret is '0' and the mutex is not
acquired? If so, we are not signalling error if the mutex is not
acquired, but I think we should.

I would do:

	if (...)
		ret = ...
	else
		ret = ...
	
	if (ret)
		return ret;

	if (!tegra_i2c_mutex_acquired(i2c_dev)) {
		dev_warn(i2c_dev->dev, "failed to acquire mutex\n");
		return -ESOMETHING;
	}

	return 0;

Makes sense?

no need for this extra blank line.

I would put this check in tegra_i2c_mutex_lock() and _unlock() in
order to avoid two level indentation here.

We are skipping pm_runtime_put(), though.
