I know this is gonna be a controversial series, but we have a usecase for this :)

This series allows an I2C bus to switch between multiple masters, i.e. a
n-to-1-demuxer. 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.

Thanks,

   Wolfram
