Hi Peter,

Thanks for the updated patch.

Again: these are not virtual buses. These are bus segments behind a
mux, and they are as real as the trunk segment in front of the mux.

Your code looks really good now, I have a few minor comments remaining
(see inline below) but overall we're good to go.

I'm eager to give it a try on my own PC system, where the SMBus is
multiplexed using ICH10 GPIO pins. Unfortunately I don't think there is
a driver for the Intel ICH GPIO pins, so I'll have to write one. And
then I'll have to write some glue code to instantiate the relevant
platform device on my system. I'll let you know when I get there.

As said above, I would like you to get rid of the "virtual" term in
this document, and talk in terms of I2C bus segments.

Typo: gpio-i2cmux.h. And you're missing:

has_idle doesn't depend on i, so it would be more efficiently set
outside the loop. You could even store a function pointer instead of a
boolean value, to be even more efficient.

BTW, would it make sense to

#define GPIO_I2CMUX_NO_IDLE	((unsigned)-1)

to avoid arbitrary cast and constant in the code?
