a430556ecb i2c: muxes: add i2c gpio multiplexer driver
Add an i2c mux driver providing access to i2c bus segments using a
hardware MUX sitting on a master bus and controlled through gpio pins.

E.G. something like:

         ----------              ----------  Bus segment 1   - - - - -
        |          | SCL/SDA    |          |-------------- |           |
        |          |------------|          |
        |          |            |          | Bus segment 2 |           |
        |  Linux   | GPIO 1..N  |   MUX    |---------------   Devices
        |          |------------|          |               |           |
        |          |            |          | Bus segment M
        |          |            |          |---------------|           |
         ----------              ----------                  - - - - -

SCL/SDA of the master I2C bus is multiplexed to bus segment 1..M
according to the settings of the GPIO pins 1..N.
