This driver allows I2C routing controlled through CPLD select registers on
a wide range of Mellanox systems (CPLD Lattice device).
MUX selection is provided by digital and analog HW. Analog part is not
under SW control.
Digital part is under CPLD control (channel selection/de-selection).

i2c-mux-mlxpcld does not necessarily require i2c-mlxcpld. It can be used
along with another bus driver, and still control i2c routing through CPLD
mux selection, in case the system is equipped with CPLD capable of mux
selection control.
