+Kernel driver i2c-gpio-mux
+
+Author: Peter Korsgaard <peter.korsgaard@barco.com>
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+i2c-gpio-mux is an i2c mux driver providing access to I2C bus segments
+from a master I2C bus and a hardware MUX controlled through GPIO pins.
+
+E.G.:
+
+  ----------              ----------  Bus segment 1   - - - - -
+ |          | SCL/SDA    |          |-------------- |           |
+ |          |------------|          |
+ |          |            |          | Bus segment 2 |           |
+ |  Linux   | GPIO 1..N  |   MUX    |---------------   Devices
+ |          |------------|          |               |           |
+ |          |            |          | Bus segment M
+ |          |            |          |---------------|           |
+  ----------              ----------                  - - - - -
+
+SCL/SDA of the master I2C bus is multiplexed to bus segment 1..M
+according to the settings of the GPIO pins 1..N.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+i2c-gpio-mux uses the platform bus, so you need to provide a struct
+platform_device with the platform_data pointing to a struct
+gpio_i2cmux_platform_data with the I2C adapter number of the master
+bus, the number of bus segments to create and the GPIO pins used
+to control it. See include/linux/i2c-gpio-mux.h for details.
+
+E.G. something like this for a MUX providing 4 bus segments
+controlled through 3 GPIO pins:
+
+#include <linux/i2c-gpio-mux.h>
+#include <linux/platform_device.h>
+
+static const unsigned myboard_gpiomux_gpios[] = {
+	AT91_PIN_PC26, AT91_PIN_PC25, AT91_PIN_PC24
+};
+
+static const unsigned myboard_gpiomux_values[] = {
+	0, 1, 2, 3
+};
+
+static struct gpio_i2cmux_platform_data myboard_i2cmux_data = {
+	.parent		= 1,
+	.base_nr	= 2, /* optional */
+	.values		= myboard_gpiomux_values,
+	.n_values	= ARRAY_SIZE(myboard_gpiomux_values),
+	.gpios		= myboard_gpiomux_gpios,
+	.n_gpios	= ARRAY_SIZE(myboard_gpiomux_gpios),
+	.idle		= 4, /* optional */
+};
+
+static struct platform_device myboard_i2cmux = {
+	.name		= "i2c-gpio-mux",
+	.id		= 0,
+	.dev		= {
+		.platform_data	= &myboard_i2cmux_data,
+	},
+};
