+Kernel driver i2c-gpio-mux
+
+Author: Peter Korsgaard <peter.korsgaard@barco.com>
+
+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,
+        },
+};
