  This binding describes an I2C bus multiplexer that uses GPIOs to route the I2C signals.

  For each I2C child node, an I2C child bus will be created. They will be numbered based on their
  order in the device tree.

  Whenever an access is made to a device on a child bus, the value set in the relevant node's reg
  property will be output using the list of GPIOs, the first in the list holding the least-
  significant value.

  If an idle state is defined, using the idle-state (optional) property, whenever an access is not
  being made to a device on a child bus, the GPIOs will be set according to the idle value.

  If an idle state is not defined, the most recently used value will be left programmed into
  hardware whenever no access is being made to a device on a child bus.
