Question from Sashiko:

https://sashiko.dev/#/patchset/20260326045555.240730-1-rosenp%40gmail.com

    This isn't a bug, but since the goto muxes_out error path was removed here,
    should the muxes_out label and its kfree(ctrl) be removed at the end of the
    function?
    They appear to be dead code now and might cause an unused label warning:
    	return;
    muxes_out:
    	kfree(ctrl);
    ctrl_out:
    	iounmap(base);
    }
