Subject: [PATCH v2 3/8] dt-bindings: i2c: add support for 'i2c-gate' subnode
Handle i2c gates similarly to how i2c arbitrators are handled.
This gets rid of a pointless 'reg' property for i2c gates.
I.e. this new and more compact style
some-gate {
i2c-gate {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
some-i2c-device@50 {
reg = <0x50>;
};
};
};
instead of the old
some-gate {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
i2c@0 {
reg = <0>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
some-i2c-device@50 {
reg = <0x50>;
};
};
};

+An i2c gate is useful to e.g. reduce the digital noise for RF tuners connected
+to the i2c bus. Gates are similar to arbitrators in that you need to perform
+some kind of operation to access the i2c bus past the arbitrator/gate, but
+there are no competing masters to consider for gates and therefore there is
+no arbitration happening for gates.
+
+Common i2c gate properties.
+
+- i2c-gate child node
+
+Required properties for the i2c-gate child node:
+- #address-cells = <1>;
+- #size-cells = <0>;
+
+Optional properties for i2c-gate child node:
+- Child nodes conforming to i2c bus binding
+
+
+Example :
+
+ /*
+ An Invensense mpu9150 at address 0x68 featuring an on-chip Asahi
+ Kasei ak8975 compass behind a gate.
+ */
+
+ mpu9150@68 {
+ compatible = "invensense,mpu9150";
+ reg = <0x68>;
+ interrupt-parent = <&gpio1>;
+ interrupts = <18 1>;
+
+ i2c-gate {
+ #address-cells = <1>;
+ #size-cells = <0>;
+
+ ax8975@0c {
+ compatible = "ak,ak8975";
+ reg = <0x0c>;
+ };
+ };
