Be sure to run 'make dt_binding_check'.

That file doesn't exist. If it did, it would still be wrong as that
would be the provider side and this is the client.

The correct name is also 'mux-controls'.

You can assume it has a schema already and you just need to define how
many entries it has (maxItems: 1).

I don't think this makes sense here. The mux doesn't really have any
frequency given the clock and data lines aren't routed thru the mux
(though maybe that's possible if some isolation is needed).

Not documented. Drop it as it's not all that useful when there's only 1 entry.

Not a valid compatible.
