Warner Losh 4d846d260e spdx: The BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD identifier is obsolete, drop -FreeBSD
The SPDX folks have obsoleted the BSD-2-Clause-FreeBSD identifier. Catch
up to that fact and revert to their recommended match of BSD-2-Clause.

.Sh NAME
.Nm pca954x
.Nd driver for PCA9548A I2C switch
.Sh SYNOPSIS
To compile this driver into the kernel,
place the following line in your
kernel configuration file:
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
.Cd "device pca954x"
.Cd "device iicmux"
.Cd "device iicbus"
.Ed
.Pp
Alternatively, to load the driver as a
module at boot time, place the following line in
.Xr loader.conf 5 :
.Bd -literal -offset indent
pca954x_load="YES"
.Ed
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
driver supports the PCA9548A I2C bus switch and compatible chips such as
TCA9548A.
It automatically connects an upstream I2C bus to one of several downstream
buses as needed when slave devices on the downstream buses initiate I/O.
More information on the automatic switching behavior is available in
.Xr iicmux 4 .
.Sh FDT CONFIGURATION
On an
.Xr FDT 4
based system, an
.Nm
device node is defined as a child node of its upstream I2C bus.
The children of the
.Nm
node are additional I2C buses, which will have their own I2C slave
devices described in their child nodes.
.Pp
The
.Nm
driver attaches to nodes where the
.Va compatible
property is set to one of
.Bl -bullet
.It
.Qq nxp,pca9548
.El
.Pp
The
.Nm
driver supports the following optional properties in addition to the standard
I2C mux properties:
.Bl -tag -width i2c-mux-idle-disconnect
.It Va i2c-mux-idle-disconnect
if defined, forces the switch to disconnect all children in idle state.
.El
.Sh HINTS CONFIGURATION
On a
.Xr device.hints 5
based system, these values are configurable for
.Nm :
.Bl -tag -width hint.pca954x.<unit>.chip_type
.It Va hint.pca954x.<unit>.at
The upstream
.Xr iicbus 4
the
.Nm
instance is attached to.
.It Va hint.pca954x.<unit>.chip_type
The type of the chip.
At present, only
.Qq pca9548
is supported.
.El
.Pp
When configured via hints, the driver automatically adds an
.Xr iicbus 4
instance for every downstream bus supported by the chip.
There is currently no way to indicate used versus unused channels.
