Not only that, it's afaik about doing i2c bus multiplexing where the multiplexers are themselves i2c devices - E.G. stuff where you might need to recursively call into the i2c core. I have been doing i2c multiplexers where the multiplexers themselves are not controlled through i2c for years without problems. I afaik even posted an example driver back when Dave posted his multiplex hack. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
