Subject: [PATCH 1/1] i2c: documentation of how to set child bus numbers from the device tree
Date: Thu, 07 May 2015 21:57:09 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <554C4225.2030706@rafresearch.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150314110028.GB970@katana>

This patch extends the i2cmux description to document how i2c child bus
numbers can be set from the device tree.

+The I2C subsystem will assign names to the child busses dynamically in
+the form i2c-n; where 'n' is an incrementing number starting with the
+number following the previously highest allocated bus number.
+
+Aliases may be used to assign static child bus names. The alias name
+must be of the form i2cnn where nn is numeric. The numeric part (nn) is
+used to set the bus number.
+
+Example :
+
+/ {
+	aliases {
+		i2c10 = &im0;
+		i2c11 = &im1;
+		i2c12 = &im2;
+		i2c13 = &im3;
+		i2c14 = &im4;
+		i2c15 = &im5;
+		i2c16 = &im6;
+		i2c17 = &im7;
+	};

+The above file segment causes the child i2c busses to be named
+i2c-10 through i2c-17.
