On one hand, the MFD looks indeed more appropriate and a lot of I2C devices are modeled through platform sub devices. On the other hand we are emulating the amc6821 in our device which requires us to have it modeled as platform: +--------+----------------+------------------------------+ | Mule (MFD) | 0x18 | +----------------+ | --------+----->| amc6821 | | | | +----------------+ | | +----->| Mux |-----+ | | +----------------+ | | | V__ +---------+ | | | \-------->| isl1208 | | | | | +---------+ | 0x6f | | M |-------->| dev #1 | | ------------------------------------>| U | +---------+ | | | X |-------->| dev #2 | | | | | +---------+ | | | /-------->| dev #3 | | | |__/ +---------+ | +--------------------------------------------------------+ If we cannot proceed with that then we could add a compatible to the amc6821 driver to add the mux device (Basically the "tsd,mule" compatible in amc6821 compatible list would be a combo driver with mux logic + amc6821). Do you think that is more appropriate ? Cheers, Farouk

I have a patch series ready which converts the amc6821 to use regmap, so the i2c-mux driver might work as-is with that patch series in place. Thanks, Guenter
Mule is an MCU that emulates a set of I2C devices which are reachable through an I2C-mux. The mux and amc6821 combined make the Mule multi-function device (@0x18) The devices on the mux can be selected by writing the appropriate device number to an I2C config register (0xff) that is not used by amc6821 logic. The selected device on the mux can be accessed for reading and writing at I2C address 0x6f. +--------+----------------+------------------------------+ | Mule (MFD) | 0x18 | +----------------+ | --------+----->| amc6821 | | | | +----------------+ | | +----->| Mux config reg |-----+ | | +----------------+ | | | V__ +---------+ | | | \-------->| isl1208 | | | | | +---------+ | 0x6f | | M |-------->| dev #1 | | ------------------------------------>| U | +---------+ | | | X |-------->| dev #2 | | | | | +---------+ | | | /-------->| dev #3 | | | |__/ +---------+ | +--------------------------------------------------------+ This patch-series adds support for the Mule MFD and I2C multiplexer as part of rk3399-puma, px30-ringneck, rk3588-tiger and rk3588-jaguar boards.
