Re: [PATCH RFC v3 1/4] dt-bindings: mux: Increase the number of arguments in mux-controls

Hi!

You need to have some description on how #mux-control-cells now work.
The previous description is in mux-consumer.yaml and an update there
is needed.

However, I have realized that the adg792a binding uses #mux-control-cells
to indicate if it should expose its three muxes with one mux-control
and operate the muxes in parallel, or if it should be expose three
independent mux-controls. So, the approach in this series to always
have the #mux-control-cells property fixed at <2> when indicating a
state will not work for that binding. And I see no fix for that binding
without adding a new property.

So, I would like a different approach. Since I dislike how mux-controls
-after this series- is not (always) specifying a mux-control like the name
says, but instead optionally a specific state, the new property I would
like to add is #mux-state-cells such that it would always be one more
than #mux-control-cells.

	mux: mux-controller {
		compatible = "gpio-mux";
		#mux-control-cells = <0>;
		#mux-state-cells = <1>;

		mux-gpios = <...>;
	};

	can-phy {
		compatible = "ti,tcan1043";
		...
		mux-states = <&mux 1>;
	};

That solves the naming issue, the unused argument for mux-conrtrollers
that previously had #mux-control-cells = <0>, and the binding for adg792a
need no longer be inconsistent.

Or, how should this be solved? I'm sure there are other options...

Cheers,
Peter
