Indeed, the critical difference between the two is that the existing
user has a global alias pool whereas this component doesn't. So
the "i2c-alias-pool" property isn't relevant here, and it's currently
the only property defined by the i2c-atr binding.

We did consider defining a per-channel alias pool in the i2c-atr binding
but the results were quite awkward and it didn't seem like this property
belonged in the device tree at all, since the alias values were hardwired
into the FPC202 and were known in advance.

I didn't think of restricting the pattern in this way, that is indeed more
appropriate than using static port names.

Moreover, I don't think that the "i2c-mux" naming is appropriate here,
as the FPC202 isn't a mux at all. I'll look for a better name for the next
iteration.
