controller has to be set to, from the consumer device tree node. Document
the property mux-states that can be used for adding this support.

+  be set to, the property "mux-states" must be used. An optional property

   mux-ctrl-specifier typically encodes the chip-relative mux controller number.
   If the mux controller chip only provides a single mux controller, the
   mux-ctrl-specifier can typically be left out.
