There are a couple of reasons for building more complex I2C topologies
than a straight-forward I2C bus with one adapter and one or more devices.
+Some example use cases are:

1. A mux may be needed on the bus to prevent address collisions.

These constructs are represented as I2C adapter trees by Linux, where
each adapter has a parent adapter (except the root adapter) and zero or
more child adapters. The root adapter is the actual adapter that issues
