[PATCH v9 0/2] i2c: mux: Propagate firmware nodes to channel adapters

[Ahmad Byagowi]

Device Tree channel nodes are associated with the adapters created by
i2c-mux, but equivalent firmware-node descriptions are not. Convert the
existing lookup to generic firmware-node operations so software-node and
ACPI descriptions can use the same property traversal.

This is the remaining I2C prerequisite split out of the Time Card series.
The channel-node leak fix from v7 was applied to i2c-next as commit
385c7af4e3b9 ("i2c: mux: Fix channel node leak on adapter add failure"), so
it is no longer included here. The first patch factors the Device Tree
lookup into a helper without changing behavior. The second converts the
helper and node lifetime handling to generic firmware-node operations.

The existing acpi_preset_companion() call remains in place after the generic
lookup. A separate reference to the node returned by that lookup is retained
because ACPI companion setup may replace the adapter's primary firmware
node. The dependent ptp_ocp board profiles will be resent to net-next after
the LED and I2C prerequisites land.

Changes since v8:
  - Split the dev_node declaration from its assignment and use
    dev_of_node() in the Device Tree helper, as suggested by Andy
    Shevchenko.
  - Preserve the split declaration and assignment when converting the
    helper to dev_fwnode().
  - Leave broader __free(fwnode_handle) cleanup for a separate follow-up.

Validation:
  - git diff --check
  - strict checkpatch with an 80-column limit
  - x86-64 GCC W=1 object build of drivers/i2c/i2c-mux.o
  - mailbox replay onto the declared base with an identical resulting tree

[PATCH v9 1/2] i2c: mux: Factor out channel node lookup

[Ahmad Byagowi]

Move the existing Device Tree channel-node lookup into a helper in
preparation for using generic firmware-node operations.

This is a pure refactoring with no functional change.

[PATCH v9 2/2] i2c: mux: Propagate firmware nodes to channel adapters

[Ahmad Byagowi]

Device Tree channel nodes are associated with the adapters created by
i2c-mux, but equivalent firmware-node descriptions are not.

Use generic firmware-node operations for the existing channel lookup
and associate the returned node with the adapter. Do not restrict the
lookup by firmware-node type, so Device Tree, software nodes, and ACPI
descriptions all follow the same property traversal. The existing
acpi_preset_companion() call remains in place for the standard ACPI
channel association.

Keep a separate reference to the node returned by the generic lookup
because acpi_preset_companion() may replace the device's primary
firmware node. Release the saved reference after adapter deletion.

They could, but three is a crowd. So, if you bother to send an update,
please use one declaration per line instead to make future diffs
clearer.

True, but it can reduce churn between these two patches if placed on
a single line. Whatever, it's a bikeshedding, so go with what Peter
prefers (as he is a maintainer IIRC of this code).

Peter, Andy,

Thanks for clarifying. I'll use one declaration per line for dev_node,
mux_node, and child in both patches in the next revision.
