Got it. So, I'll remove the common part that describes about the number
of arguments and only include what the arguments would mean given the
number of arguments


  mux-states:
    description:
      mux controller node to route the signals from controller to
      transceiver. Two arguments can be present depending on the mux
      chip. If mux-states has one argument then it represents the state.
      If there are two arguments then the first argument is the control
      line and the second argument is its corresponding state.


Thanks,
