We can do it like this:

case IIO_MASSCONCENTRATION: {
guard(mutex)(&state->lock);

/* read up to the number of bytes actually needed */
switch (chan->channel2) {
case IIO_MOD_PM1:
ret = sps30_do_meas(state, data, 1);
break;
case IIO_MOD_PM2P5:
ret = sps30_do_meas(state, data, 2);
break;
case IIO_MOD_PM4:
ret = sps30_do_meas(state, data, 3);
break;
case IIO_MOD_PM10:
ret = sps30_do_meas(state, data, 4);
break;
default:
return -EINVAL;
}
if (ret)
return ret;


*val = data[chan->address] / 100;
*val2 = (data[chan->address] % 100) * 10000;

return IIO_VAL_INT_PLUS_MICRO;
}
default:
return -EINVAL;

Make less indent and we don't have to initialize ret at the start of
the function anymore.

Doesn't need to be scoped. there is just return after this.

IMHO, this one just make the code uglier, not really an improvement.
