[PATCH net-next v4 3/5] i2c: mux: Propagate software nodes to channel adapters
From: Ahmad Byagowi
Date: Wed Aug 12 2026 - 10:19:10 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.
