     1 An i2c gate is useful to e.g. reduce the digital noise for RF tuners connected
    2 to the i2c bus. Gates are similar to arbitrators in that you need to perform
    3 some kind of operation to access the i2c bus past the arbitrator/gate, but
    4 there are no competing masters to consider for gates and therefore there is
    5 no arbitration happening for gates.
    6 
    7 Common i2c gate properties.
    8 
    9 - i2c-gate child node
   10 
   11 Required properties for the i2c-gate child node:
   12 - #address-cells = <1>;
   13 - #size-cells = <0>;
   14 
   15 Optional properties for i2c-gate child node:
   16 - Child nodes conforming to i2c bus binding
   17

   19 Example :
   20 
   21         /*
   22            An Invensense mpu9150 at address 0x68 featuring an on-chip Asahi
   23            Kasei ak8975 compass behind a gate.
   24          */
   25 
   26         mpu9150@68 {
   27                 compatible = "invensense,mpu9150";
   28                 reg = <0x68>;
   29                 interrupt-parent = <&gpio1>;
   30                 interrupts = <18 1>;
   31 
   32                 i2c-gate {
   33                         #address-cells = <1>;
   34                         #size-cells = <0>;
   35 
   36                         ax8975@c {
   37                                 compatible = "ak,ak8975";
   38                                 reg = <0x0c>;
   39                         };
   40                 };
   41         };
