Wolfram Sang 16c4c52435 bindings: i2c: use consistent naming for i2c binding descriptions
Filenames of devictree binding documentation seems to be arbitrary and
for me it is unneeded hazzle to find the corresponding documentation for
a specific driver.

Naming the description the same as the driver is a lot easier and makes
sense to me since the driver defines the binding it understands.

Also, remove a reference in one source to the binding documentation, since path
information easily gets stale.

Common i2c bus multiplexer/switch properties.
An i2c bus multiplexer/switch will have several child busses that are
numbered uniquely in a device dependent manner. The nodes for an i2c bus
multiplexer/switch will have one child node for each child
bus.
Required properties:
- #address-cells = <1>;
- #size-cells = <0>;
Required properties for child nodes:
- #address-cells = <1>;
- #size-cells = <0>;
- reg : The sub-bus number.
Optional properties for child nodes:
- Other properties specific to the multiplexer/switch hardware.
- Child nodes conforming to i2c bus binding
Example :
/*
An NXP pca9548 8 channel I2C multiplexer at address 0x70
with two NXP pca8574 GPIO expanders attached, one each to
ports 3 and 4.
*/
mux@70 {
compatible = "nxp,pca9548";
reg = <0x70>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
i2c@3 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
reg = <3>;
gpio1: gpio@38 {
compatible = "nxp,pca8574";
reg = <0x38>;
#gpio-cells = <2>;
gpio-controller;
};
};
i2c@4 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
reg = <4>;
gpio2: gpio@38 {
compatible = "nxp,pca8574";
reg = <0x38>;
#gpio-cells = <2>;
gpio-controller;
};
};
};
