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

[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.

Now all three can be defined in a single line.

[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.
