[PATCH v6 1/2] dt-bindings: mux: gpio-mux: add enable-gpios support
Posted by Antoniu Miclaus 1 week, 3 days ago
Add support for an optional enable GPIO that allows the multiplexer
to be disabled before changing address lines and re-enabled after,
preventing glitches during channel transitions.

This is useful for devices like the Analog Devices ADG2404 (4:1 mux)
that benefit from enable control to ensure clean channel switching.
