dt-bindings: i2c: add support for 'i2c-mux' subnode
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Similar to the new optional 'i2c-bus' subnode from Jon Hunter, this
adds an optional 'i2c-mux' subnode, for similar reasons. I.e. it is
bad of the i2c mux core to assume that any subnode of an i2c mux device
is a potential (when the 'reg' property matches) i2c-mux child bus,
given that i2c mux devices might do more than mux i2c traffic.

So, if an 'i2c-mux' subnode is present, dictate that all i2c-mux child
buses exist beneath that subnode.

An i2c bus multiplexer/switch will have several child busses that are
numbered uniquely in a device dependent manner. The nodes for an i2c bus
multiplexer/switch will have one child node for each child
bus.

- i2c-mux
For i2c multiplexers/switches that have child nodes that are a mixture
of both i2c child busses and other child nodes, the 'i2c-mux' subnode
can be used for populating the i2c child busses. If an 'i2c-mux'
subnode is present, only subnodes of this will be considered as i2c
child busses.

Required properties for the i2c-mux child node:
- #address-cells = <1>;
- #size-cells = <0>;

Required properties for child nodes:
Required properties for i2c child bus nodes:

- Other properties specific to the multiplexer/switch hardware.
- Child nodes conforming to i2c bus binding
