Description
 | 
						|
-----------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
i2c-gpio-mux is an i2c mux driver providing access to I2C bus segments
 | 
						|
from a master I2C bus and a hardware MUX controlled through GPIO pins.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
E.G.:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  ----------              ----------  Bus segment 1   - - - - -
 | 
						|
 |          | SCL/SDA    |          |-------------- |           |
 | 
						|
 |          |------------|          |
 | 
						|
 |          |            |          | Bus segment 2 |           |
 | 
						|
 |  Linux   | GPIO 1..N  |   MUX    |---------------   Devices
 | 
						|
 |          |------------|          |               |           |
 | 
						|
 |          |            |          | Bus segment M
 | 
						|
 |          |            |          |---------------|           |
 | 
						|
  ----------              ----------                  - - - - -
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SCL/SDA of the master I2C bus is multiplexed to bus segment 1..M
 | 
						|
according to the settings of the GPIO pins 1..N.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Usage
 | 
						|
-----
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
i2c-gpio-mux uses the platform bus, so you need to provide a struct
 | 
						|
platform_device with the platform_data pointing to a struct
 | 
						|
gpio_i2cmux_platform_data with the I2C adapter number of the master
 | 
						|
bus, the number of bus segments to create and the GPIO pins used
 | 
						|
to control it. See include/linux/i2c-gpio-mux.h for details.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
E.G. something like this for a MUX providing 4 bus segments
 | 
						|
controlled through 3 GPIO pins:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#include <linux/i2c-gpio-mux.h>
 | 
						|
#include <linux/platform_device.h>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
static const unsigned myboard_gpiomux_gpios[] = {
 | 
						|
	AT91_PIN_PC26, AT91_PIN_PC25, AT91_PIN_PC24
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
static const unsigned myboard_gpiomux_values[] = {
 | 
						|
	0, 1, 2, 3
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
static struct gpio_i2cmux_platform_data myboard_i2cmux_data = {
 | 
						|
	.parent		= 1,
 | 
						|
	.base_nr	= 2, /* optional */
 | 
						|
	.values		= myboard_gpiomux_values,
 | 
						|
	.n_values	= ARRAY_SIZE(myboard_gpiomux_values),
 | 
						|
	.gpios		= myboard_gpiomux_gpios,
 | 
						|
	.n_gpios	= ARRAY_SIZE(myboard_gpiomux_gpios),
 | 
						|
	.idle		= 4, /* optional */
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
static struct platform_device myboard_i2cmux = {
 | 
						|
	.name		= "i2c-gpio-mux",
 | 
						|
	.id		= 0,
 | 
						|
	.dev		= {
 | 
						|
		.platform_data	= &myboard_i2cmux_data,
 | 
						|
	},
 | 
						|
};
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you don't know the absolute GPIO pin numbers at registration time,
 | 
						|
you can instead provide a chip name (.chip_name) and relative GPIO pin
 | 
						|
numbers, and the i2c-gpio-mux driver will do the work for you,
 | 
						|
including deferred probing if the GPIO chip isn't immediately
 | 
						|
available.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Device Registration
 | 
						|
-------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When registering your i2c-gpio-mux device, you should pass the number
 | 
						|
of any GPIO pin it uses as the device ID. This guarantees that every
 | 
						|
instance has a different ID.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Alternatively, if you don't need a stable device name, you can simply
 | 
						|
pass PLATFORM_DEVID_AUTO as the device ID, and the platform core will
 | 
						|
assign a dynamic ID to your device. If you do not know the absolute
 | 
						|
GPIO pin numbers at registration time, this is even the only option.
