devm_mutex_init() may return -ENOMEM.
So this error should be handled in st1202_probe().

The start of a new sentence shouldn't warrant a line break.

My assumption is that anything but 0 would be bad, thus:

if (ret)

Matter of taste. All other tests in this driver are "if (ret < 0)" or "if (ret != 0)".

What do you prefer: consistency or concision? (my own choice goes to consistency)

If you confirm concision, I'll send a v2 that also fix your other comment above.
