Can you please show the output of the directory
/sys/kernel/debug/intel_pmc_mux/ with multiple pmc devices in the system
at the same time?

This code seems to want to create that directory for every platform
device that matches this signature, so that implies you can not have
more than one of them at a time, which is not good and an artificial
restriction you are placing on the driver.
