[U-Boot] [PATCH] i2c: mux: Allow muxes to work as children of i2c bus without i2c-parent

For mux check if the parent is already a device of UCLASS_I2C and if yes just use that. Otherwise see if someone specified an i2c-parent phandle. This mimics the behavior found in the Kernel, as it removes the requirement to explicitly specify a i2c-parent phandle.

The part of this will be good to also handle req_seq for mux busses. But at least this should solved part of the problems.

AFAIK using i2c muxes requires two changes in DTS file. First change is this to setup i2c-parent in DTS file which is something what Linux doesn't need. The next change is that you have to extend i2c aliases to point to i2c mux sub busses which is the second thing what Linux doesn't need. I expect that this change you have in your dts file.
I think that if you detect mux with 8 ports you can simply use unique busid to be able to address them.
Thanks, Michal

Yeah, thanks for clarifying. In my dts I have aliases for each of the mux channels, which, I don't have a good idea on how to solve differently. In Linux I think I don't need that.
I think that if you detect mux with 8 ports you can simply use unique busid to be able to address them.
In Linux? I'll have to take another look at that. Currently I get busses like 700,701,702 etc (which are aliases I defined). Each of them points to a mux channel.
<snip> aliases { ... i2c0 = &i2c0; i2c0700 = &i2c0_70_0; i2c0701 = &i2c0_70_1; i2c0702 = &i2c0_70_2; i2c0703 = &i2c0_70_3; };
... i2cswitch@70 { compatible = "ti,pca9548", "nxp,pca9548"; #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>; reg = <0x70>; status = "okay";
i2c0_70_0: i2c@0 { reg = <0x0>; #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <0>;
status = "okay"; }; ... };
</snip>
I Will resubmit a v2 for the other changes above
If you or Simon have ideas on how to correctly solve the alias issue, I can take another stab at that.
Thanks,
Moritz

yes and this is not required by Linux kernel. IIRC Linux simply assign free ID to that bus. It means starting from 0 and asking if there is alias or not and then +1, etc should work.
