i2c/of: Automatically populate i2c mux busses from device tree data.
For 'normal' i2c bus drivers, we can call of_i2c_register_devices()
and have the device tree framework automatically populate the bus with
the devices specified in the device tree.
This patch adds a common code to the i2c mux framework to have the mux
sub-busses be populated by the of_i2c_register_devices() too. If the
mux device has an of_node, we populate the sub-bus' of_node so that
the subsequent call to of_i2c_register_devices() will find the
corresponding devices.
It seemed better to put this logic in i2c_add_mux_adapter() rather
than the individual mux drivers, as they will all probably want to do
the same thing.

1 | Common i2c bus multiplexer/switch properties. | ||
2 | |||
3 | An i2c bus multiplexer/switch will have several child busses that are | ||
4 | numbered uniquely in a device dependent manner. The nodes for an i2c bus | ||
5 | multiplexer/switch will have one child node for each child | ||
6 | bus. | ||
7 | |||
8 | Required properties: | ||
9 | - #address-cells = <1>; | ||
10 | - #size-cells = <0>; | ||
11 | |||
12 | Required properties for child nodes: | ||
13 | - #address-cells = <1>; | ||
14 | - #size-cells = <0>; | ||
15 | - reg : The sub-bus number. | ||

17 | Optional properties for child nodes: | ||
