If dev->of_node is NULL, then calling mux_control_get()
function can lead to NULL pointer exception. So adding
a NULL check for dev->of_node.

Do you have a driver that might call mux_control_get and not have any
of_node?
For non-device tree drivers, this case is valid. I hit this issue when I
was working on Intel USB MUX driver.
If not, I don't see the point of this check.
Since this is an API for other consumers, I think its better to have
some sanity checks.
If a non device tree driver call this API , I think its better to fail
with some error no instead of creating null pointer exception.
Cheers,
peda
