Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

On systems with ACPI instantiated i2c-clients, normally there is 1 fw_node per i2c-device and that fw-node contains 1 I2cSerialBus resource for that 1 i2c-device. But in some rare cases the manufacturer has decided to describe multiple i2c-devices in a single ACPI fwnode with multiple I2cSerialBus resources. An earlier attempt to fix this in the i2c-core resulted in a lot of extra code to support this corner-case. This commit introduces a new i2c-multi-instantiate driver which fixes this in a different way. This new driver can be built as a module which will only loaded on affected systems. This driver will instantiate a new i2c-client per I2cSerialBus resource, using the driver_data from the acpi_device_id it is binding to to tell it which chip-type (and optional irq-resource) to use when instantiating. Note this driver depends on a platform device being instantiated for the ACPI fwnode, see the i2c_multi_instantiate_ids list of ACPI device-ids in drivers/acpi/scan.c: acpi_device_enumeration_by_parent().
