I see. Hrm, not sure how to decide if it is a mux or not. The best I
could come up with is to look at the i2c_adapter.lock_ops. E.g.


	while ((parent = i2c_parent_is_i2c_adapter(adap)) != NULL) {
		/*
		 * Check if this adapter is a mux channel by verifying its
		 * lock_ops. Only mux channels use these specific lock operations.
		 */
		if (adap->lock_ops == &i2c_mux_lock_ops ||
		    adap->lock_ops == &i2c_parent_lock_ops) {
			struct i2c_mux_priv *priv = adap->algo_data;

			if (priv->muxc->mux_locked)
				return priv->muxc;
		}
		adap = parent;
	}

Or do you have a better idea?
