+title: Multiple GPIO bitbanged I2C buses with shared SCL
+
+maintainers:
+ - Markus Stockhausen <markus.stockhausen@gmx.de>
+
+description:
+ Bitbanging I2C bus driver that supports multiple independent I2C buses
+ sharing a single SCL line. Each child node represents one I2C bus with
+ its own SDA line. The shared SCL line is driven by the parent node.
+ A mutex serializes access so that only one bus transfers at a time.
