[084/107] i2c/pca954x: Initialize the mux to disconnected state

From: Greg KH

2.6.39-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Petri Gynther <pgynther@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit cd823db8b1161ef0d756514d280715a576d65cc3 upstream.

pca954x power-on default is channel 0 connected. If multiple pca954x
muxes are connected to the same physical I2C bus, the parent bus will
see channel 0 devices behind both muxes by default. This is bad.

Scenario:
-- pca954x @ 0x70 -- ch 0 (I2C-bus-101) -- EEPROM @ 0x50
|
I2C-bus-1 ---
|
-- pca954x @ 0x71 -- ch 0 (I2C-bus-111) -- EEPROM @ 0x50

1. Load I2C bus driver: creates I2C-bus-1
2. Load pca954x driver: creates virtual I2C-bus-101 and I2C-bus-111
3. Load eeprom driver
4. Try to read EEPROM @ 0x50 on I2C-bus-101. The transaction will also bleed
onto I2C-bus-111 because pca954x @ 0x71 channel 0 is connected by default.

Fix: Initialize pca954x to disconnected state in pca954x_probe()
