| Description
 | |
| -----------
 | |
| 
 | |
| i2c-mux-gpio 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-mux-gpio uses the platform bus, so you need to provide a struct
 | |
| platform_device with the platform_data pointing to a struct
 | |
| i2c_mux_gpio_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/platform_data/i2c-mux-gpio.h for details.
 | |
| 
 | |
| E.G. something like this for a MUX providing 4 bus segments
 | |
| controlled through 3 GPIO pins::
 | |
| 
 | |
|   #include <linux/platform_data/i2c-mux-gpio.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 i2c_mux_gpio_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-mux-gpio",
 | |
| 	.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-mux-gpio driver will do the work for you,
 | |
| including deferred probing if the GPIO chip isn't immediately
 | |
| available.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Device Registration
 | |
| -------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| When registering your i2c-mux-gpio 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.
