What makes it generic? Doesn't the mux chip have power supply,
possibly a reset line or not, etc.? What about a mux where the GPIO
controls the mux?

Generally, we avoid 'generic' bindings because h/w is rarely generic.
You can have a generic driver which works on multiple devices.

You should describe 'endpoint@0' and 'endpoint@1' here too.

Don't show status in examples.

Not documented. Is the i2c bus muxed too? If not, then this is in the
wrong place.
