Subject: [PATCH v5 2/7] mux: Add helper functions for getting optional and
 selected mux-state

In-tree phy-can-transceiver driver has already implemented a local
version of devm_mux_state_get_optional.

The omap-i2c driver gets and selects an optional mux in its probe
function without using any helper.

Add new helper functions covering both aforementioned use-cases:

- mux_control_get_optional:
  Get a mux-control if specified in dt, return NULL otherwise.
- devm_mux_state_get_optional:
  Get a mux-state if specified in dt, return NULL otherwise.
- devm_mux_state_get_selected:
  Get and select a mux-state specified in dt, return error otherwise.
- devm_mux_state_get_optional_selected:
  Get and select a mux-state if specified in dt, return error or NULL.

Existing mux_get helper function is changed to take an extra argument
indicating whether the mux is optional.
In this case no error is printed, and NULL returned in case of ENOENT.

Calling code is adapted to handle NULL return case, and to pass optional
argument as required.

To support automatic deselect for _selected helper, a new structure is
created storing an exit pointer similar to clock core which is called on
release.

To facilitate code sharing between optional/mandatory/selected helpers,
a new internal helper function is added to handle quiet (optional) and
verbose (mandatory) errors, as well as storing the correct callback for
devm release: __devm_mux_state_get

Due to this structure devm_mux_state_get_*_selected can no longer print
a useful error message when select fails. Instead callers should print
errors where needed.

Commit e153fdea9db04 ("phy: can-transceiver: Re-instate "mux-states"
property presence check") noted that "mux_get() always prints an error
message in case of an error, including when the property is not present,
confusing the user."

The first error message covers the case that a mux name is not matched
in dt. The second error message is based on of_parse_phandle_with_args
return value.

In optional case no error is printed and NULL is returned.
This ensures that the new helper functions will not confuse the user
either.

With the addition of optional helper functions it became clear that
drivers should compile and link even if CONFIG_MULTIPLEXER was not enabled.
Add stubs for all symbols exported by mux core.
