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.

Both patches looking mostly good, two things here:

+ /*
+ * Try to get populate the mux adapter's of_node, expands to

"get populate"? I'd think you mean "populate" only, but am not sure
enough to fix it myself.

You are correct.


+ * nothing if !CONFIG_OF.
+ */
+ if (mux_dev->of_node) {
+ struct device_node *child;
+ u32 reg;
+ int ret;

We have a "ret" already in this function.


Good catch. That definition of "ret" could (and should) be removed. The code works correctly, but fails the elegance test.

I can send a new patch set with those corrections, or if you prefer, you could commit these making the changes yourself.

Which do you prefer?
