Hi!
Regarding the subject (and elsewhere) I think of "mux core" as roughly
the code in the i2c-mux.c file. So, for me, the "mux core" does not have
an address, it is a mux "driver instance" or "device" that sits on the
I2C address that you need to share.

Use I2C in text, not i2c (applies to other patches as well).

The above section has overly long lines without good reason. Please
rewrite as something like this:
/*
* When creating the adapter, the node devices are checked for I2C
* address match with other devices on the parent adapter, among
* which is the mux device itself. If a match is found the node
* device is not probed successfully. Allow the mux to have the

*/
if (muxc->share_addr_with_children &&
muxc->dev->type == &i2c_client_type)
{
struct i2c_client *client = to_i2c_client(muxc->dev);
struct i2c_adapter_quirks *quirks;
quirks = devm_kzalloc(muxc->dev, sizeof(*quirks), GFP_KERNEL);
I also wonder if that second condition (...->type == &i2c_client_type) should
be a WARN_ON_ONCE? I don't see how the flag can be set sanely on an adapter
that is not itself an I2C client. Can it?

The I2C_AQ_SKIP_ADDR_CHECK flag should probably not be propagated?
} else if (priv->adap.quirks &&
priv->adap.quirks->flags & I2C_AQ_SKIP_ADDR_CHECK)
{
struct i2c_adapter_quirks *quirks;
quirks = devm_kzalloc(muxc->dev, sizeof(*quirks), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!quirks)
return -ENOMEM;
memcpy(quirks, parent->quirks, sizeof(*quirks));
quirks->flags &= ~I2C_AQ_SKIP_ADDR_CHECK;
priv->adap.quirks = quirks;
(My code written directly in the mua, there's probably something silly in
there...)
Cheers,
