> + - mediatek,share-i3c: i3c controller can share i2c function.
I am not happy with this binding. There must be a better way of using
the I3C controller in I2C mode. I think it would be easier to tell if we
had an I3C driver to see how it implements I2C fallback there. Is the
I3C driver on the way?

After confirmation, for I2C mode in I3C controller, we will push an I3C driver to implement I2C fallback there later, and we will remove "mediatek,share-i3c" for i2c controller driver in the next patch.

The problem with DT bindings is that you need to support them forever once you introduced them. Because there might be old device trees on boards out there which need the property. So, I don't like the idea of having a temporary binding which is meant to be removed anyway. My take is that you should just send out the I3C driver which will handle the I2C support then. Adding Rob to CC in case he has a different opinion.

Actually, there are I2C and I3C controllers on MT8183 SoC. We will remove "mediatek,share-i3c" for I2C controller driver, so these patches are just to support the I2C controllers on MT8183 SoC. For the I3C controller we will send some new patches which are based on i3c framework directories(kernel/drivers/i3c), not based on i2c-mt65xx.c.

If it turns out that the I3C driver can share things with the I2C driver, we can discuss it then. But unless we have an I3C driver and know for sure, the above strategy seems good to me.

According to our plan, I2C controller will use i2c-mt65xx.c(kernel/drivers/i2c/busses/)and I3C controller will use i3c-xxx.c(kernel/drivers/i3c/master/)

If the V4 series does not use the "mediatek,share-i3c" binding anymore, please resend it. From what I recall, it should be OK then. > According to our plan, I2C controller will use > i2c-mt65xx.c(kernel/drivers/i2c/busses/)and I3C controller will use > i3c-xxx.c(kernel/drivers/i3c/master/) Sounds OK from what I understood. The I2C fallback from I3C will be interesting.
