Can I though? I want to support both the simple I2C controller and the 
MUX mode with the same driver. Which is why I've ended up with two 
drivers to register.

On the binding patch, Rob made the suggestion that I just make the 
i2c-mux part of the parent. I did consider that but quickly got tied in 
knots because I couldn't figure out how to have a device that is both an 
adapter and a mux. The main problem was that any child nodes of an i2c 
adapter in the device tree are presumed to be I2C devices and get probed 
automatically by of_i2c_register_devices(). Equally I can't register a 
mux without having an adapter that the mux operates over.
