I read the spec and it is actually an SPI-controlled switch.

(As in "power switch", not "network switch".)

It's a bit interesting since we have no "switch" subsystem, but there
is "mux".

The question is whether this should be considered some kind of
"gpio" (due to the nature of switches being off/on) in order to not
complicate our world too much or if we need to create a whole
new device class for switches.
