PATCH v2 1/1 of: i2c: Add idle-disconnect DT property to PCA954x mux driver

of: i2c: Add idle-disconnect DT property to PCA954x mux driver

Add idle-disconnect device tree property to PCA954x mux driver. The new property forces the multiplexer to disconnect child buses in idle state. This is used, for example, when there are several multiplexers on the same bus and the devices on the underlying buses might have same I2C addresses.

At the same time old (and not used in the tree) platform data binding deselect_on_exit is removed to simplify the implementation. Old binding has different (per-channel) semantics and doesn't fit well in the new concept.

---

Changes in v2:
- dropped idle-state binding
- headers in alphabetical order
- removed old platform data deselect_on_exit flag

I'd prefer to keep it. It should be only one || more. It is not really in the way IMO.

I would copy pdata->modes[chan].deselect_on_exit to data->idle_disconnect in the probe function, so you could avoiding accessing pdata here.

Quoted 8 lines

Unfortunately, this pdata has different (per-channel) semantics. I cannot really understand, why it was done this way, but anyway it's not possible to use one global bit to represent per-channel bits without changing the behavior.

I'm not keen to brake out-of-tree code (if any), but may be it will be decided to drop this per-channel deselect_on_exit, because it's not used at least in the kernel tree...

I'd vote for removing deselect_on_exit from platform data, but I won't insist.

Not that I'm aware of. If this is specific to i2c-mux's then I'd go with the latter. Either way, this should go in a common i2c or i2c-mux binding doc.

Alternatively, couldn't the kernel do this automatically when the above conditions happen?
