Convert driver from 'i2c' to 'platform'. The motivation is to avoid I2C addressing conflict between ‘i2c-mux-cpld’ driver, providing mux selection and deselection through CPLD ‘mux control’ register, and CPLD host driver. The CPLD is I2C device and is multi-functional device performing logic for different components, like LED, ‘hwmon’, interrupt control, watchdog etcetera. For such configuration CPLD should be host I2C device, connected to the relevant I2C bus with the relevant I2C address and all others component drivers are supposed to be its children. The hierarchy in such case will be like in the below example: ls /sys/bus/i2c/devices/44-0032 i2c-mux-mlxcpld.44 leds-mlxreg.44 mlxreg-io.44 ls /sys/bus/i2c/devices/44-0032/i2c-mux-mlxcpld.44 channel-0, …, channel-X Currently this driver is not activated by any kernel driver, so this conversion doesn’t affect any user.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
