With a i2c topology like the following
GPIO ---| ------ BAT1
| v /
I2C -----+----------+---- MUX
| \
EEPROM ------ BAT2
there is a locking problem with the GPIO controller since it is a client
on the same i2c bus that it muxes. Transfers to the mux clients (e.g. BAT1)
will lock the whole i2c bus prior to attempting to switch the mux to the
correct i2c segment. In the above case, the GPIO device is an I/O expander
with an i2c interface, and since the GPIO subsystem knows nothing (and
rightfully so) about the lockless needs of the i2c mux code, this results
in a deadlock when the GPIO driver issues i2c transfers to modify the
mux.
So, observing that while it is needed to have the i2c bus locked during the
actual MUX update in order to avoid random garbage on the slave side, it
is not strictly a must to have it locked over the whole sequence of a full
select-transfer-deselect mux client operation. The mux itself needs to be
locked, so transfers to clients behind the mux are serialized, and the mux
needs to be stable during all i2c traffic (otherwise individual mux slave
segments might see garbage, or worse).
Introduce this new locking concept as "mux-locked" muxes, and call the
pre-existing mux locking scheme "parent-locked".
Modify the i2c mux locking so that muxes that are "mux-locked" locks only
the muxes on the parent adapter instead of the whole i2c bus when there is
a transfer to the slave side of the mux. This lock serializes transfers to
the slave side of the muxes on the parent adapter.
Add code to i2c-mux-gpio and i2c-mux-pinctrl that checks if all involved
gpio/pinctrl devices have a parent that is an i2c adapter in the same
adapter tree that is muxed, and request a "mux-locked mux" if that is the
case.
Modify the select-transfer-deselect code for "mux-locked" muxes so
that each of the select-transfer-deselect ops locks the mux parent
adapter individually.

for implicit i2c mux cores.

All i2c-muxes have a parent adapter and one or many child
adapters. A mux also has some means of selection. Previously,
this was stored per child adapter, but it is only needed
to keep track of this per mux.
Add an i2c mux core, that keeps track of this consistently.
Also add some glue for users of the old interface, which will
create one implicit mux core per child adapter.

i2c_del_mux_adapter always returns 0 and none of it current users check its
return value anyway. It is also an essential requirement of the Linux device
driver model, that functions which may be called from a device's remove callback
to free resources provided by the device, are not allowed to fail. This is the
case for i2c_del_mux_adapter(), so make its return type void to make the
fact that it won't fail explicit.

Let I2C bus segments behind multiplexers have a class. This allows for
device auto-detection on these segments. As long as parent segments
don't share the same class, it should be fine.
I implemented support in drivers i2c-mux-gpio and i2c-mux-pca954x. I
left i2c-mux-pca9541 and i2c-mux-pinctrl alone for the moment as I
don't know if this feature makes sense for the use cases of these
drivers.

The new device parameter is used in the next patch to initialize the
mux's of_node so that its children may be automatically populated.
