I tried adding it in the following manner,

+/**
+ * devm_mux_control_optional_get() - Optionally get the mux-control for a
+ * device, with resource management.
+ * @dev: The device that needs a mux-control.
+ * @mux_name: The name identifying the mux-control.
+ *
+ * This differs from devm_mux_control_get in that if the mux does not
+ * exist, it is not considered an error and -ENODEV will not be
+ * returned. Instead the NULL is returned.
+ *
+ * Return: Pointer to the mux-control, or an ERR_PTR with a negative errno.
+ */
+struct mux_control *devm_mux_control_optional_get(struct device *dev,
+ const char *mux_name)
+{
+ struct mux_control *mux_ctrl;
+
+ mux_ctrl = devm_mux_control_get(dev, mux_name);
+ if (PTR_ERR(mux_ctrl) == -ENOENT)
+ mux_ctrl = NULL;
+
+ return mux_ctrl;
+}
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(devm_mux_control_optional_get);
+

However the issue is that there is a print in mux_control_get()
dev_err(dev, "%pOF: failed to get mux-control %s(%i)\n",

which is getting printed, whenever mux-controls property is not found.
Therefore, I was not sure about how to go about this issue and did not
implement it.

Thanks,
Aswath
