If I understand correctly we would have the amc6821 for "tsd,mule" 
compatible probe the mule-i2c-mux as platform_device. Possible DT 
representation would be something like:


i2c {
     #address-cells = <1>;
     #size-cells = <0>;

     fan@18 {
         compatible = "tsd,mule", "ti,amc6821";
         reg = <0x18>;

         i2c-mux {
             compatible = "tsd,mule-i2c-mux";
             #address-cells = <1>;
             #size-cells = <0>;

             i2c@0 {
                 reg = <0x0>;
                 #address-cells = <1>;
                 #size-cells = <0>;

                 rtc@6f {
                     compatible = "isil,isl1208";
                     reg = <0x6f>;
                 };

             };
         };
     };
};
