Well, GMSL has a somewhat similar mechanism, it seems. The de-serializer (drivers/media/i2c/max9286.c) is an i2c-mux to which n camera sensors are attached. The sensors all have the same i2c address initially. Now, the code first muxes each single bus to the controller, so that the serializer (drivers//media/i2c/max9271.c) on the "other side" of the muxed bus can then be programmed to translate the all-the-same-address to an individual address. After this is done for all cameras, the mux enables all channels at once because the addresses are now unique on the busses. The code for all that is complicated, though. Not sure if you can derive inspiration from it. Good luck, though! Happy hacking, Wolfram
