I'm a relative yaml bindings newbie, but I assume adding "select: false" will
have the side effect of not enforcing this i2c-mux schema on i2c-muxes that
have not yet been converted to yaml? E.g. i2c-mux-gpio.txt, i2c-mux-pinctrl.txt
etc etc. But there are not too many of those. Is it a prerequisite to update
those bindings to yaml before doing "select: false"? Looking further I think
there's a total of about 15-20 drivers doing i2c-muxing (or arbing/gating),
and some of those exist outside the "i2c umbrella".

I wonder if e.g. this one [1] should really reference i2c-controller.yaml as
it is currently doing, or if i2c-mux.yaml is correct?

[1] Documentation/devicetree/bindings/power/supply/sbs,sbs-manager.yaml

Maybe i2c-mux.yaml didn't work in that case because the node names were
"wrong" and did not match the pattern and then someone stuck
i2c-controller.yaml in there simply because that was close enough, and
also happened to work?

Cheers,
Peter
