Oh, I'll fix this up.

I'm afraid you lost me here...
We only know if the user specified the mux configuration with
pinctrl-single,pins or pinctrl-single,bits in this function.

One thing I could do to make the code a bit better to look at is:
int params = 2;

mux = of_get_property(np, PCS_MUX_PINS_NAME, &size);
if (!mux) {
mux = of_get_property(np, PCS_MUX_BITS_NAME, &size);
if (!mux) {
dev_err(pcs->dev, "no valid property for %s\n",
np->name);
return -EINVAL;
}
params = 3;
}

This might make the code a bit more compact but at the same time one might
need to spend few more seconds to understand it.

Péter
