The current code is selecting the mux channel before each operation and
does not benefit from the cached value (data->last_chan).

That is because pca954x_select_chan() considers any non-zero values from
pca954x_reg_write() as an error. But this function (via __i2c_transfer)
returns either a negative error code or the positive number of messages
executed.

Only check "ret" against negative values to restore the caching.

Fixes: 463e8f845cbf ("i2c: mux: pca954x: retry updating the mux selection on failure")

Hi Vivien,

Thanks for the report, and sorry for breaking things. However, your
patch got beaten by an hour by Russel King who sent approximately
the same patch. I had already responded to his message when I saw
yours, so I did not Cc you.

Cheers,
peda
