[RFC PATCH 1/4] dt-bindings: i3c: Add Realtek RTS490x I3C hub support
From: zain_zhou
Date: Sun Sep 20 2026 - 06:08:18 EST
From: Yin Zhou <zain_zhou@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Add the device tree binding for the Realtek RTS490x family of I3C
hubs. The hubs provide four or eight downstream target ports that can
operate as I3C buses or SMBus controller and target interfaces, along
with programmable LDO outputs for the controller and target-port
power domains.

+description: |
+ The Realtek RTS490x family provides four or eight downstream target ports.
+ The hub is an I3C target and is accessed through an upstream I3C controller.
+ Each target port can operate as an I3C bus or as an SMBus controller and
+ target interface. The hub also provides four programmable LDO outputs for
+ its controller and target-port power domains.
