* i2c: add ACPI support for I2C mux portsDustin Byford2015-10-251-0/+58
Although I2C mux devices are easily enumerated using ACPI (_HID/_CID or device property compatible string match), enumerating I2C client devices connected through an I2C mux needs a little extra work. This change implements a method for describing an I2C device hierarchy that includes mux devices by using an ACPI Device() for each mux channel along with an _ADR to set the channel number for the device. See Documentation/acpi/i2c-muxes.txt for a simple example. To make this work the ismt, i801, and designware pci/platform devs now share an ACPI companion with their I2C adapter dev similar to how it's done in OF. This is done on the assumption that power management functions will not be called directly on the I2C dev that is sharing the ACPI node.
