So, you need to add Device objects here

The driver (drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-piix4.c::1157) has this call:

	acpi_preset_companion(&adap->dev, ACPI_COMPANION(&dev->dev), hw_port_nr);

Means, that the _ADR will be evaluated, but there is none for the ports, only
for the physical device.

So, you need something like this:

	Scope (\_SB_.PCI0.SMBS)
	{
	  Device (SMB1)
	  {
	    Name (_ADR, 0)
	  }
	  Device (SMB1)
	  {
	    Name (_ADR, 1)
	  }
	  Device (SMB2)
	  {
	    Name (_ADR, 2)
	  }
	}


And then refer to the controller (respective port) as, for example,

	\_SB_.PCI0.SMBS.SMB1

in your SSDT. Note, the above _ADR assignments you should also add to SSDT
(better to the same one).

If you succeed with the above, please add the respective section to
the Documentation/i2c/busses/i2c-piix4.rst and send a patch. It will
be very appreciated!
