+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.
+ */
