Well, dunno what 'big issue' is in your book :) What definately needs to
be done is:

* handle "status" at mux-core level, not mux-driver
* that probably needs us to convert i2c_add_mux_adapter() to return
  ERR_PTRs instead of NULL, so we can distinguish the "disabled" case
* that would mean to fix all existing users

That's all not groundbreaking stuff, but needs caution and thoroughness.
There might be some gory details left, though...
