Convert the device-tree parsing path to the generic fwnode/device
property accessors so the driver can be probed on ACPI and swnode
platforms as well as OF. The helper is renamed from
i2c_mux_reg_probe_dt() to i2c_mux_reg_probe_fw() to reflect that.
Accessor translation:
of_parse_phandle("i2c-parent") +
of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() -> fwnode_find_reference() +
i2c_find_adapter_by_fwnode()
of_get_child_count() -> device_get_child_node_count()
of_property_read_bool() -> device_property_read_bool()
for_each_child_of_node() -> device_for_each_child_node()
of_property_read_u32("reg") on ACPI device nodes:
acpi_get_local_address()
everything else (OF, swnode,
ACPI data nodes):
fwnode_property_read_u32()
of_property_read_u32("idle-state") -> device_property_read_u32()
The child-node branch uses is_acpi_device_node() rather than
is_acpi_node(): the latter also matches ACPI data nodes (the
_DSD hierarchical-property children used by PRP0001-style
firmware), which have no ACPI handle and would make
acpi_get_local_address() fall back to evaluating _ADR against the
root namespace and return -ENODATA. Routing data nodes through
fwnode_property_read_u32() instead lets them resolve the "reg"
property the same way OF and swnode children do.
Behavioural preservations (deliberate, to avoid regressing existing
users):
- The three-way endian fallback is kept verbatim: an explicit
"little-endian" property wins, then "big-endian", and otherwise
the host's compile-time byte order. device_is_big_endian() is
not used here because it ignores "little-endian" and introduces
"native-endian" semantics, which would diverge from the binding.
- The "if (!mux->data.reg)" guard around
devm_platform_get_and_ioremap_resource() in probe() is kept.
drivers/platform/mellanox/mlx-platform.c registers i2c-mux-reg
platform_devices with no memory resource and supplies a
pre-set .reg / .reg_size through struct
i2c_mux_reg_platform_data; without the guard those
registrations would fail in probe().
- The "if (!mux->data.reg)" ioremap block (and the paired
reg_size validation that depends on it) is hoisted above
i2c_get_adapter(mux->data.parent), so the fwnode path
preserves master's ordering of "ioremap before parent-adapter
get". For platdata users the validation runs from a slightly
earlier position, but mux->data.reg_size is already set from
platdata by then, so the order is functionally neutral.
The OF-only of_address_to_resource() translation in the old
probe_dt() is dropped because the same address is available from
the platform_device resource table on OF as well as ACPI, and the
existing fallback in probe() ioremaps it.

caught the is_acpi_node()/is_acpi_device_node() distinction
addressed in v5). No code change.

- Link to v5: https://patch.msgid.link/20260519-i2c-mux-reg-v5-1-7af068f255cd@nexthop.ai
Changes in v5:
- Discriminate ACPI children with is_acpi_device_node() instead of
is_acpi_node(). v4 routed every is_acpi_node() child to
acpi_get_local_address(), which is wrong for ACPI data nodes
(the _DSD hierarchical-property children PRP0001-style firmware
uses): data nodes have no ACPI handle, so ACPI_HANDLE_FWNODE()
returns NULL, acpi_get_local_address() falls back to evaluating
_ADR against the root namespace, and the probe fails with
-ENODATA. is_acpi_device_node() narrows the match to ACPI
device nodes (which do carry an _ADR), and the else-branch now
resolves "reg" via fwnode_property_read_u32() for OF, swnode,
and ACPI data nodes alike. Flagged by Sashiko on v4.
- Patch description: extend the accessor-translation table to show
the new ACPI-device-node vs everything-else split, plus a short
paragraph explaining why is_acpi_device_node() is the right
predicate.
- Link to v4: https://patch.msgid.link/20260518-i2c-mux-reg-v4-1-0143917144d0@nexthop.ai
Changes in v4 (per Peter's review of v3):
- Switch the parent-adapter lookup back from
i2c_get_adapter_by_fwnode() to i2c_find_adapter_by_fwnode() +
put_device(), matching the OF original's
of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() semantics (device ref only, no
module ref). probe()'s subsequent i2c_get_adapter() does its
own try_module_get() and -EPROBE_DEFERs on failure, so the
brief acquire-then-release in probe_fw() wasn't earning
anything.
- In probe(), hoist the "if (!mux->data.reg)" ioremap block
(together with the paired reg_size validation) above the
i2c_get_adapter() call, restoring master's "ioremap before
parent-adapter get" ordering on the fwnode path.
- Patch description: name drivers/platform/mellanox/mlx-platform.c
as the concrete in-tree platdata user that motivates keeping
the "if (!mux->data.reg)" guard around the platform-resource
ioremap path. No code change.
- Link to v3: https://patch.msgid.link/20260513-i2c-mux-reg-v3-1-0fa7242605bc@nexthop.ai
Changes in v3:
- Restore the original __BYTE_ORDER preprocessor check for the
endian-property fallback. v2 replaced it with
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN), but that Kconfig symbol is
only defined on architectures with configurable endianness (arm,
arm64, mips, ppc, sh, xtensa, microblaze). On architectures where
endianness is fixed (x86, RISC-V, ...), the symbol is undefined,
IS_ENABLED() silently evaluates to false, and the mux defaults to
big-endian register writes. On a little-endian host that turns any
non-zero channel selection into garbage and quietly breaks every
slave behind the mux.
- Replace put_device(&adapter->dev) with i2c_put_adapter(adapter).
v1 switched from of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() to
i2c_get_adapter_by_fwnode(); the new helper additionally takes a
try_module_get() on the adapter owner that put_device() alone does
not release. This leaked a module reference on every successful
probe.
- Read swnode child "reg" properties via fwnode_property_read_u32().
The previous loop branched on is_of_node()/is_acpi_node() only;
software nodes hit neither arm and silently left values[i] = 0,
giving every swnode channel index 0 and breaking channel mapping
on swnode platforms -- exactly the case the cover claims to add
support for.
i2c: mux: reg: use device property accessors
Convert the device-tree parsing path in i2c-mux-reg to the generic
fwnode/device property accessors so the driver can be probed on ACPI
and swnode platforms in addition to OF.
Changes in v2 (per Peter's review of v1 [1]):
- Restore the three-way endian-property fallback verbatim. v1 used
device_is_big_endian(), which ignores "little-endian" and adds
"native-endian" semantics -- a binding-visible behaviour change on
big-endian hosts that did not specify the property. v2 keeps the
original logic ("little-endian" wins, then "big-endian", else the
host's compile-time byte order), expressed via
device_property_read_bool() instead of of_property_read_bool().
- Restore the "if (!mux->data.reg)" guard around
devm_platform_get_and_ioremap_resource() in probe(). v1 dropped it
and would have clobbered the pre-ioremapped reg supplied by a
platdata user through struct i2c_mux_reg_platform_data.
- Restore the dev_err_probe() wrapper at the probe_fw() call site so
the silent error paths in the helper still produce a dmesg line on
failure.
- Rewrite the changelog to enumerate the accessor translations, the
new ACPI child-node handling via acpi_get_local_address(), and the
behavioural preservations above.
