The FPC202 dual port controller serves as a low speed signal aggregator for
common port types, notably SFP. It provides access to I2C and low-speed
GPIO signals of a downstream device through a single upstream control
interface.

Up to two logical I2C addresses can be accessed on each of the FPC202's
ports. The port controller acts as an I2C translator (ATR). It converts
addresses of incoming and outgoing I2C transactions. One use case of this
is accessing two SFP modules at logical address 0x50 from the same upstream
I2C controller, using two different client aliases.

Indeed, the critical difference between the two is that the existing
user has a global alias pool whereas this component doesn't. So
the "i2c-alias-pool" property isn't relevant here, and it's currently
the only property defined by the i2c-atr binding.

We did consider defining a per-channel alias pool in the i2c-atr binding
but the results were quite awkward and it didn't seem like this property
belonged in the device tree at all, since the alias values were hardwired
into the FPC202 and were known in advance.

I didn't think of restricting the pattern in this way, that is indeed more
appropriate than using static port names.

Moreover, I don't think that the "i2c-mux" naming is appropriate here,
as the FPC202 isn't a mux at all. I'll look for a better name for the next
iteration.

Thanks,
