Hi Kyle,

Please drop the else arm here, it is unnecessary.

Doing so will move the code into the preferred style
of handling errors conditionally while keeping
the main thread of execution outside (extra) conditions.

(Completely untested, but I mean like this.)

	if (of_property_read_u32(np, "renesas,miic-switch-portin", &conf) == 0) {
		if (conf >= miic->of_data->conf_to_string_count) {
			dev_err(miic->dev, "Port input configuration out of range: %d\n",
				conf);
			ret = -EINVAL;
			goto err;
		}
		dt_val[0] = conf;
	}

With that change, feel free to add:
