[PATCH v2 1/7] i2c: mux: add the ability to share mux core address with child nodes

From: Farouk Bouabid
Date: Mon May 06 2024 - 08:24:43 EST


Allow the mux core (if it's an i2c device) to have the same address as
a child device. This is useful when the mux core can only use an i2c
address that is used by a child device because no other addresses are
free to use. eg. the mux core can only use address 0x18 which is used by
amc6821 connected to the mux.
