Hi!

Are you saying that the parent bus of the mux is relying on some
pull-ups inside the mux?

I think you should follow the example of the i2c-mux-gpio driver
and implement the idle-state property instead.

That is a lot more consistent, assuming it solves the problem
at hand?

Awful number of negations there. The name is also backwards given that
a non-zero value means that the mux should *not* be disabled. I would
have reused the name from the binding.

bool never_disable;

A bit less confusing...

Please drop " != 0" and use the variable as a truth value. More
instances below...

i2c-mux-never-disable needs to be documented. However see above for my
point that you should do it like the i2c-mux-gpio driver. Any usage
of idle-state still needs to be documented for pca954x binding.

Why do you not allow never-disable for switches?
