13  This binding describes an I2C bus multiplexer that uses a mux controller
14  from the mux subsystem to route the I2C signals.

52      Explicitly allow unrelated I2C transactions on the parent I2C adapter at
53      these times:
54       - during setup of the multiplexer
55       - between setup of the multiplexer and the child bus I2C transaction
56       - between the child bus I2C transaction and releasing of the multiplexer
57       - during releasing of the multiplexer
58
59      However, I2C transactions to devices behind all I2C multiplexers connected
60      to the same parent adapter that this multiplexer is connected to are blocked
61      for the full duration of the complete multiplexed I2C transaction (i.e.
62      including the times covered by the above list).
63      If mux-locked is not present, the multiplexer is assumed to be parent-locked.
64      This means that no unrelated I2C transactions are allowed on the parent I2C
65      adapter for the complete multiplexed I2C transaction.
66      The properties of mux-locked and parent-locked multiplexers are discussed
67      in more detail in Documentation/i2c/i2c-topology.rst.
