Please add a new KCONFIG symbol for it. And think about the
depend/select statement, since you need regmap.

Please use kerneldoc formatting for this function documentation.

You can probably remove "mdio-mux child node " making the line < 80,
but still retain the meaning. The child node name should be sufficient
to identify it.

Same here.
