On some Layerscape boards like LS2085ARDB and LS2088ARDB,
input pull-up resistors on PCA954x MUX device are missing on board,
So, if MUX are disabled after powered-on, input lines will float
leading to incorrect functionality.

Hence, PCA954x MUX device should never be turned-off after
power-on.

Add property to skip disabling PCA954x MUX device
if device tree contains "i2c-mux-never-disable"
for PCA954x device node.

Errata ID: E-00013 on board LS2085ARDB and LS2088ARDB

Can you please explain what a "mess up" is?

And also, should we put this new DTS property in related default
bindings? 

If not, are you planning a documentation update for the users to notify
them about this?

Hi!

Are you saying that the parent bus of the mux is relying on some
pull-ups inside the mux?

I think you should follow the example of the i2c-mux-gpio driver
and implement the idle-state property instead.

That is a lot more consistent, assuming it solves the problem
at hand?

Awful number of negations there. The name is also backwards given that
a non-zero value means that the mux should *not* be disabled. I would
have reused the name from the binding.

	bool never_disable;

A bit less confusing...

Please drop " != 0" and use the variable as a truth value. More

i2c-mux-never-disable needs to be documented. However see above for my
point that you should do it like the i2c-mux-gpio driver. Any usage
of idle-state still needs to be documented for pca954x binding.

Why do you not allow never-disable for switches?

Currently, the hardware bug is on pca9547(LS2085ARDB and LS2088ARDB not populate resistors for pca9547), 
muxtype of pca9547 is 'pca954x_ismux'

This is a hardware bug that happened on NXP board LS2085ARDB and LS2088ARDB.
So give a software fix for the hardware bug.

SDA and SCL are not "inputs". They are part of a bus and are both
bidirectional signals. Speaking of input signals in an I2C context
is ambiguous.

I'll wait for that patch then, instead of spending more energy on the
never-disable approach.
