Stephen Warren ae58d1e406 i2c: Add generic I2C multiplexer using pinctrl API
This is useful for SoCs whose I2C module's signals can be routed to
different sets of pins at run-time, using the pinctrl API.

Pinctrl-based I2C Bus Mux
This binding describes an I2C bus multiplexer that uses pin multiplexing to
route the I2C signals, and represents the pin multiplexing configuration
using the pinctrl device tree bindings.

Required properties:
- compatible: i2c-mux-pinctrl
- i2c-parent: The phandle of the I2C bus that this multiplexer's master-side
port is connected to.
Also required are:
* Standard pinctrl properties that specify the pin mux state for each child
bus. See ../pinctrl/pinctrl-bindings.txt.
* Standard I2C mux properties. See mux.txt in this directory.
* I2C child bus nodes. See mux.txt in this directory.
For each named state defined in the pinctrl-names property, an I2C child bus
will be created. I2C child bus numbers are assigned based on the index into
the pinctrl-names property.
The only exception is that no bus will be created for a state named "idle". If
such a state is defined, it must be the last entry in pinctrl-names. For
example:
pinctrl-names = "ddc", "pta", "idle" -> ddc = bus 0, pta = bus 1
pinctrl-names = "ddc", "idle", "pta" -> Invalid ("idle" not last)
pinctrl-names = "idle", "ddc", "pta" -> Invalid ("idle" not last)
Whenever an access is made to a device on a child bus, the relevant pinctrl
state will be programmed into hardware.
If an idle state is defined, whenever an access is not being made to a device
on a child bus, the idle pinctrl state will be programmed into hardware.
If an idle state is not defined, the most recently used pinctrl state will be
left programmed into hardware whenever no access is being made of a device on
a child bus.
Example:
i2cmux {
compatible = "i2c-mux-pinctrl";
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
i2c-parent = <&i2c1>;
pinctrl-names = "ddc", "pta", "idle";
pinctrl-0 = <&state_i2cmux_ddc>;
pinctrl-1 = <&state_i2cmux_pta>;
pinctrl-2 = <&state_i2cmux_idle>;
i2c@0 {
reg = <0>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
eeprom {
compatible = "eeprom";
reg = <0x50>;
};
};
i2c@1 {
reg = <1>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
eeprom {
compatible = "eeprom";
reg = <0x50>;
};
};
};
