What makes you say that?  We currently have devices in mainline which
have well over 32 inputs to muxes.

I don't have access to non-public nVidia documents...

Like I said in my previous reply I would expect to see some users along
with the code, extending the standard helpers to support this would be a
much better idea than doing something driver custom.
