[RFC PATCH 2/2] dt-bindings: net: Add mctp-i2c bus-attach property

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Allows attaching multiple child busses in a mux topology
to an mctp-i2c instance on the root bus. In general I2C
slave mode does not make sense for mux busses, but the MCTP
request/response protocol means the the root can switch
between child muxes for incoming I2C messages.
