1General Purpose I2C Bus Mux
2
3This binding describes an I2C bus multiplexer that uses a mux controller
4from the mux subsystem to route the I2C signals.

20Required properties:
21- compatible: i2c-mux
22- i2c-parent: The phandle of the I2C bus that this multiplexer's master-side
23  port is connected to.
24- mux-controls: The phandle of the mux controller to use for operating the
25  mux.
26* Standard I2C mux properties. See i2c-mux.txt in this directory.
27* I2C child bus nodes. See i2c-mux.txt in this directory. The sub-bus number
28  is also the mux-controller state described in ../mux/mux-controller.txt
29
30Optional properties:
31- mux-locked: If present, explicitly allow unrelated I2C transactions on the
32  parent I2C adapter at these times:
33   + during setup of the multiplexer
34   + between setup of the multiplexer and the child bus I2C transaction
35   + between the child bus I2C transaction and releasing of the multiplexer
36   + during releasing of the multiplexer
37  However, I2C transactions to devices behind all I2C multiplexers connected
38  to the same parent adapter that this multiplexer is connected to are blocked
39  for the full duration of the complete multiplexed I2C transaction (i.e.
40  including the times covered by the above list).
41  If mux-locked is not present, the multiplexer is assumed to be parent-locked.
42  This means that no unrelated I2C transactions are allowed on the parent I2C
43  adapter for the complete multiplexed I2C transaction.
44  The properties of mux-locked and parent-locked multiplexers are discussed
45  in more detail in Documentation/i2c/i2c-topology.rst.
46
47For each i2c child node, an I2C child bus will be created. They will
48be numbered based on their order in the device tree.
49
50Whenever an access is made to a device on a child bus, the value set
51in the relevant node's reg property will be set as the state in the
52mux controller.

54Example:
55	mux: mux-controller {
56		compatible = "gpio-mux";
57		#mux-control-cells = <0>;
58
59		mux-gpios = <&pioA 0 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>,
60			    <&pioA 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
61	};
62
63	i2c-mux {
64		compatible = "i2c-mux";
65		mux-locked;
66		i2c-parent = <&i2c1>;
67
68		mux-controls = <&mux>;
69
70		#address-cells = <1>;
71		#size-cells = <0>;
72
73		i2c@1 {
74			reg = <1>;
75			#address-cells = <1>;
76			#size-cells = <0>;
77
78			ssd1307: oled@3c {
79				compatible = "solomon,ssd1307fb-i2c";
80				reg = <0x3c>;
81				pwms = <&pwm 4 3000>;
82				reset-gpios = <&gpio2 7 1>;
83				reset-active-low;
84			};
85		};
86
87		i2c@3 {
88			reg = <3>;
89			#address-cells = <1>;
90			#size-cells = <0>;
91
92			pca9555: pca9555@20 {
93				compatible = "nxp,pca9555";
94				gpio-controller;
95				#gpio-cells = <2>;
96				reg = <0x20>;
97			};
98		};
99	};
