Yes, mt6397 is the PMIC work with mt8135 or mt8127.

I think the datasheet is a little misleading here. AFAIK, on 8135 even
if your clear the bit for I2C4, there are no corresponding pins for this
i2c port on 8135. So it is not really multiplexed. Base on my
understanding this is more like "Set this bit if this a PMIC I2C port".

In order to use i2c4, we do need a PMIC pinmux driver to set pinmux
function for this i2c port. Since all the i2c control logic and
registers are on mt8135, it is strange to have PMIC device driver set
this bit on mt8135. Also, since mt8127 doesn't support this, it will be
even stranger when using this pmic and driver with mt8127.
