Mule is an mcu that emulates a set of i2c devices which are reachable
through an i2c-mux.
The emulated devices share a single i2c address with the mux core itself
where the requested register is what determines which logic is executed
(muxing logic or device logic):
1- The devices on the mux core can be selected (muxing functionality) by
writing the appropriate device number to an i2c config register (0xff)
that is not used by any device logic.
2- Any access to a register other than the config register will be
handled by the previously selected device.

The current i2c-mux implementation does not allow the mux core to use the
i2c address of a child device. As a workaround, A new i2c-adapter quirk is
introduced to skip the check for conflict between a child device and the
mux core i2c address when adding the child device.
This patch-series adds support for this multiplexer. Mule is integrated
as part of rk3399-puma, px30-ringneck, rk3588-tiger and rk3588-jaguar
boards.
