+General Purpose I2C Bus Mux
+
+This binding describes an I2C bus multiplexer that uses a mux controller
+from the mux subsystem to route the I2C signals.

+
+Required properties:
+- compatible: i2c-mux
+- i2c-parent: The phandle of the I2C bus that this multiplexer's master-side
+ port is connected to.
+- mux-controls: The phandle of the mux controller to use for operating the
+ mux.
+* Standard I2C mux properties. See i2c-mux.txt in this directory.
+* I2C child bus nodes. See i2c-mux.txt in this directory. The sub-bus number
+ is also the mux-controller state described in ../mux/mux-controller.txt
+
+Optional properties:
+- mux-locked: If present, explicitly allow unrelated I2C transactions on the
+ parent I2C adapter at these times:
+ + during setup of the multiplexer
+ + between setup of the multiplexer and the child bus I2C transaction
+ + between the child bus I2C transaction and releasing of the multiplexer
+ + during releasing of the multiplexer
+ However, I2C transactions to devices behind all I2C multiplexers connected
+ to the same parent adapter that this multiplexer is connected to are blocked
+ for the full duration of the complete multiplexed I2C transaction (i.e.
+ including the times covered by the above list).
+ If mux-locked is not present, the multiplexer is assumed to be parent-locked.
+ This means that no unrelated I2C transactions are allowed on the parent I2C
+ adapter for the complete multiplexed I2C transaction.
+ The properties of mux-locked and parent-locked multiplexers are discussed
+ in more detail in Documentation/i2c/i2c-topology.
+
+For each i2c child node, an I2C child bus will be created. They will
+be numbered based on their order in the device tree.
+
+Whenever an access is made to a device on a child bus, the value set
+in the relevant node's reg property will be set as the state in the
+mux controller.
+
+Example:
+ mux: mux-controller {
+ compatible = "gpio-mux";
+ #mux-control-cells = <0>;
+
+ mux-gpios = <&pioA 0 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>,
+ <&pioA 1 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
+ };
+
+ i2c-mux {
+ compatible = "i2c-mux";
+ mux-locked;
+ i2c-parent = <&i2c1>;
+
+ mux-controls = <&mux>;
+
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+
+ i2c@1 {
+ reg = <1>;
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+
+ ssd1307: oled@3c {
+ compatible = "solomon,ssd1307fb-i2c";
+ reg = <0x3c>;
+ pwms = <&pwm 4 3000>;
+ reset-gpios = <&gpio2 7 1>;
+ reset-active-low;
+ };
+ };
+
+ i2c@3 {
+ reg = <3>;
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+
+ pca9555: pca9555@20 {
+ compatible = "nxp,pca9555";
+ gpio-controller;
+ #gpio-cells = <2>;
+ reg = <0x20>;
+ };
+ };
+ };
