[PATCH v4 0/7] mmc: host: renesas_sdhi_core: support configuring an optional sdio mux

Some Renesas SoC based boards mux SD and eMMC on a single sdio
controller, exposing user control by dip switch and software control by
gpio.

Purpose is to simplify development and provisioning by selecting boot
media at power-on, and again before starting linux.

Add binding and driver support for linking a (gpio) mux to renesas sdio
controller.

Introduce generic helper functions for getting managed and selected
mux-state objects, and switch i2c-omap and phy-can-transceiver drivers.

Changes in v4:
- added MULTIPLEXER Kconfig help text.
- removed "select MULTIPLEXER" from renesas sdhi Kconfig, as it is
  not required for all devices using this driver.
- added stubs for all symbols exported by mux core.
  (Reported-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert at linux-m68k.org>)
- refactored mux core logic to silence ENOENT errors only on optional
  code paths, keeping error printing unchanged otherwise.

- picked up various reviewed- and acked-by tags
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251210-rz-sdio-mux-v3-0-ca628db56d60@solid-run.com

Changes in v3:
- updated omap-i2c and phy-can-transceiver to use new helpers.
- created generic helper functions for getting managed optional mux-state.
  (Reported-by: Rob Herring <robh at kernel.org>)
- picked up binding ack by Rob Herring.
- replaced use of "SDIO" with "SD/SDIO/eMMC" in binding document and
  commit descriptions.
