Re: [patch v5] i2c: mux: mellanox: add driver

[Peter Rosin <peda@axentia.se>]

Wolfram, please pick up v5 for i2c-next whenever timing is right so that
it gets more testing etc. I didn't do any recent compile-testing myself,
but if you think that is required on the final version I can of course
spend some time on it. (But isn't that what all the infrastructure is
there to help with?)   Thanks!
