I am not planning to merge the Intel USB MUX driver any more. I agree 
with Hans comments
and decided not to proceed further on this approach.

But I created these helper functions to get my driver working with MUX 
framework. Since these
helper functions can be useful for any non-dt drivers who wants to use 
MUX framework, I thought
to submit these changes for review.

Good catch. I did not test the case with multiple chips. So I failed to 
notice this.
