From: Peter Rosin <redacted> Signed-off-by: Peter Rosin <redacted>It would be quite good if the commit messaged said why it is now safe to remove the workaround.
Right, hmm, the two last patches seemed obvious at the time I wrote them, but now I see a problem. E.g. if two pca954x devices that depends on being idle when client devices are not accessed happen to sit on the same bus (perhaps because the muxes are used to hide a bunch of identical devices), it is indeed not safe to make this change. Thanks for making my think, and consider 9/10 and 10/10 dropped. Cheers, Peter
