[RFC net-next v2 3/6] i2c: mux: Propagate software nodes to channel adapters
From: Ahmad Byagowi
Date: Mon Aug 03 2026 - 16:54:19 EST
Device Tree channel nodes are associated with the adapters created by
i2c-mux, but equivalent software-node descriptions are not.
Find the software-node child whose reg value matches the channel and
assign it to the new adapter. Keep a reference for the adapter lifetime
so downstream clients can find the channel by firmware node.
