In the v2 we talked about this with Peter Rosin.

In fact, in the v1 (mux_chip_resume() didn't exists yet, everything was
done in the mmio driver) I had the same behavior: try to restore all
muxes and in case of error restore the first one.

I don't know what is the right solution. I just restored the behavior I
had in v1.

Yes, indeed. But we will have an error message for each failure.
