[PATCH v5 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 v5:
- implemented automatic mux deselect for devm_*_selected.
  (Reported-by: Wolfram Sang <wsa+renesas at sang-engineering.com>)
- because of semantic changes I dropped reviewed and acks from omap-i2c
  patch (Andreas Kemnade / Wolfram Sang).
- fix invalid return value in void function for mux helper stubs
  (Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp at intel.com>)
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251229-rz-sdio-mux-v4-0-a023e55758fe@solid-run.com

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.
  (Reported-by: Geert Uytterhoeven <geert at linux-m68k.org>)
- 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.

Changes in v2:
- dropped mux-controller node from dt binding example
