GPIO-based I2C Bus Mux

This binding describes an I2C bus multiplexer that uses GPIOs to
route the I2C signals.

Required properties:
- compatible: i2c-mux-gpio
- i2c-parent: The phandle of the I2C bus that this multiplexer's master-side
  port is connected to.
- mux-gpios: list of gpios used to control the muxer
* Standard I2C mux properties. See i2c-mux.yaml in this directory.
* I2C child bus nodes. See i2c-mux.yaml in this directory.

Optional properties:
- idle-state: value to set the muxer to when idle. When no value is
  given, it defaults to the last value used.

For each i2c child node, an I2C child bus will be created. They will
be numbered based on their order in the device tree.

Whenever an access is made to a device on a child bus, the value set
in the relevant node's reg property will be output using the list of
GPIOs, the first in the list holding the least-significant value.

If an idle state is defined, using the idle-state (optional) property,
whenever an access is not being made to a device on a child bus, the
GPIOs will be set according to the idle value.

If an idle state is not defined, the most recently used value will be
left programmed into hardware whenever no access is being made to a
device on a child bus.

Example:
	i2cmux {
		compatible = "i2c-mux-gpio";
		#address-cells = <1>;
		#size-cells = <0>;
		mux-gpios = <&gpio1 22 0 &gpio1 23 0>;
		i2c-parent = <&i2c1>;

		i2c@1 {
			reg = <1>;
			#address-cells = <1>;
			#size-cells = <0>;

			ssd1307: oled@3c {
				compatible = "solomon,ssd1307fb-i2c";
				reg = <0x3c>;
				pwms = <&pwm 4 3000>;
				reset-gpios = <&gpio2 7 1>;
			};
		};

		i2c@3 {
			reg = <3>;
			#address-cells = <1>;
			#size-cells = <0>;

			pca9555: pca9555@20 {
				compatible = "nxp,pca9555";
				gpio-controller;
				#gpio-cells = <2>;
				reg = <0x20>;
			};
		};
