Please correct me if I'm wrong. We have following usecases.

1. I2C_EN pulled low. TI158 is in the pin strap mode, it is not
connected to the I2C bus. A0, A1, SDA and SCL pins are used for
strapping the settings.
    board DT file should describe the bridge as a platform device
sitting directly under the root node.

2. I2C_EN pulled high. TI158 is in the I2C mode. It is connected to
the I2C bus, A0/A1 pins set the I2C bus address. The device is
controlled over the I2C bus

2.a. The same as 2, but the device is not controlled at all, default
settings are fine.

The driver covers usecase 2.a. The bindings allow extending the driver
to the usecase 2 (e.g. via optional properties which specify
bord-specific settings)

The usecase 1 is a completely separate topic, it requires a different
schema file, specifying no i2c address, only voltages supplies and
enable-gpios.
