This is not hot-switching because connected I2C slaves will be re-instantiated. It is meant to select the best I2C core at runtime once the task is known. Example: Prefer i2c-gpio over another I2C core because of HW errata affecting your current runtime configuration. It works by using OF_DYNAMIC and en-/disabling the i2c parent as needed. See the binding docs for more details. Because this is largely using OF_DYNAMIC, I decided to post the whole series to the dt list. Changes since RFC v1: * gracefully handle if i2c adapters are not present at runtime (driver not loaded yet) * added more documentation and examples * properly put the i2c adapters after use * respect PAGE_SIZE in sysfs_show This has been tested on a Renesas Lager board switching between i2c-gpio and two different IP cores (i2c-rcar and i2c-sh_mobile). The rebinding seems to be working as expected. However, in practice, I couldn't use the HDMI i2c slaves with another controller yet, because the rcar-du driver OOPSes when unbinding. This seems unrelated to this series because it can also be triggered via sysfs-unbind. soc-camera also had problems properly cleaning up on unbind, a patch for this already has been sent. So, this series is for sure a good test for the unbind path of drivers. Let me know what you think.
