See i2c-mux.txt in this directory. +* I2C child bus nodes. See i2c-mux.txt in this directory. + +Optional properties: +- reg: this pair of <offset size> specifies the register to control the mux. + The <offset size> depends on its parent node. It can be any memory-mapped + address. The size must be either 1, 2, or 4 bytes. If reg is omitted, the + resource of this device will be used. +- little-endian: The existence indicates the register is in little endian. +- big-endian: The existence indicates the register is in big endian. + If both little-endian and big-endian are omitted, the endianness of the + CPU will be used. +- write-only: The existence indicates the register is write-only. +- idle-state: value to set the muxer to when idle. When no value is + given, it defaults to the last value used. + +Whenever an access is made to a device on a child bus, the value set +in the relevant node's reg property will be output to the register. + +If an idle state is defined, using the idle-state (optional) property, +whenever an access is not being made to a device on a child bus, the +register will be set according to the idle value. + +If an idle state is not defined, the most recently used value will be +left programmed into the register. + +Example of a mux on PCIe card, the host is a powerpc SoC (big endian): + + i2c-mux { + /* the <offset size> depends on the address translation + * of the parent device.
