Subject: [PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: i2c: add GPIO buses sharing one SCL line
Date: Sun, 18 Oct 2026 12:43:14 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261018194315.945-2-ross@r-sc.ca> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261018194315.945-1-ross@r-sc.ca>
Add a binding for several bit-banged I2C buses that share one SCL GPIO
and have one SDA GPIO each, as on some Realtek RTL930x switches. Each
child node is a bus with its own SDA line; the parent holds the shared
SCL line and the i2c-gpio style timing properties.

+description: |
+ Several I2C buses bit-banged on GPIOs, with one SCL line common to all of
+ them and one SDA line per bus. Each child node is a separate I2C bus.
+ Transfers are serialized, so only one bus clocks SCL at a time.
