In typec_mux_match() "nval" is assigned the number of elements in the
"svid" fwnode property, then the variable is used to store the success
of the read and finally attempts to loop between 0 and "success" - i.e.
not at all - and the code returns indicating that no match was found.

Fix this by using a separate variable to track the success of the read,
to allow the loop to get a change to find a match.

This changes the behaviour of the original code, i.e. nval can be
still positive but less than we got from previous call. Some fwnode
backends in some cases potentially can _successfully_ read less than
asked.

Perhaps

  nval = ret;

or drop the patch.
        for (i = 0; i < nval; i++) {
