David Daney bc45449b14 i2c/of: Automatically populate i2c mux busses from device tree data.
For 'normal' i2c bus drivers, we can call of_i2c_register_devices()
and have the device tree framework automatically populate the bus with
the devices specified in the device tree.

This patch adds a common code to the i2c mux framework to have the mux
sub-busses be populated by the of_i2c_register_devices() too.  If the
mux device has an of_node, we populate the sub-bus' of_node so that
the subsequent call to of_i2c_register_devices() will find the
corresponding devices.

It seemed better to put this logic in i2c_add_mux_adapter() rather
than the individual mux drivers, as they will all probably want to do
the same thing.

Common i2c bus multiplexer/switch properties.
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.
Required properties:
- #address-cells = <1>;
- #size-cells = <0>;
Required properties for child nodes:
- #address-cells = <1>;
- #size-cells = <0>;
- reg : The sub-bus number.
Optional properties for child nodes:
- Other properties specific to the multiplexer/switch hardware.
- Child nodes conforming to i2c bus binding
Example :
/*
An NXP pca9548 8 channel I2C multiplexer at address 0x70
with two NXP pca8574 GPIO expanders attached, one each to
ports 3 and 4.
*/
mux@70 {
compatible = "nxp,pca9548";
reg = <0x70>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
i2c@3 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
reg = <3>;
gpio1: gpio@38 {
compatible = "nxp,pca8574";
reg = <0x38>;
#gpio-cells = <2>;
gpio-controller;
};
};
i2c@4 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
reg = <4>;
gpio2: gpio@38 {
compatible = "nxp,pca8574";
reg = <0x38>;
#gpio-cells = <2>;
gpio-controller;
};
};
};
