30.Dt LTC430X 4
31.Os
32.Sh NAME
33.Nm ltc430x
34.Nd driver for LTC4305 and LTC4306 I2C mux chips
35.Sh SYNOPSIS
36To compile this driver into the kernel,
37place the following line in your
38kernel configuration file:
39.Bd -ragged -offset indent
40.Cd "device ltc430x"
41.Ed
42.Pp
43Alternatively, to load the driver as a
44module at boot time, place the following line in
45.Xr loader.conf 5 :
46.Bd -literal -offset indent
47ltc430x_load="YES"
48.Ed
49.Sh DESCRIPTION
50The
51.Nm
52driver supports the LTC4305 and LTC4306 I2C bus multiplexer (mux) chips.
53It automatically connects an upstream I2C bus to one of several downstream
54buses as needed when slave devices on the downstream buses initiate I/O.
55More information on the automatic switching behavior is available in
56.Xr iicmux 4 .
57.Sh FDT CONFIGURATION
58On an
59.Xr fdt 4
60based system, an
61.Nm
62device node is defined as a child node of its upstream i2c bus.
63The children of the
64.Nm
65node are additional i2c buses, which will have their own i2c slave
66devices described in their child nodes.
67.Pp
68The
69.Nm
70driver conforms to the standard
71.Bk -words
72.Li i2c/i2c-mux-ltc4306.txt
73.Ek
74bindings document, except that the following optional properties
75are not currently supported and will be ignored if present:
76.Bl -bullet -compact -inset -offset indent
77.It
78enable-gpios
79.It
80gpio-controller
81.It
82#gpio-cells
83.It
84ltc,downstream-accelerators-enable
85.It
86ltc,upstream-accelerators-enable
87.El
88.Sh HINTS CONFIGURATION
89On a
90.Xr device.hints 5
91based system, these values are configurable for
92.Nm :
93.Bl -tag -width indent
94.It Va hint.ltc430x.<unit>.at
95The upstream
96.Xr iicbus 4
97the
98.Nm
99instance is attached to.
100.El
101.Pp
102When configured via hints, the driver automatically adds an iicbus
103instance for every downstream bus supported by the chip.
104There is currently no way to indicate used versus unused channels.
105.Sh SEE ALSO
106.Xr iicbus 4 ,
107.Xr iicmux 4 ,
108.Sh HISTORY
109The
110.Nm
111driver first appeared in
112.Fx 13.0 .
