Please let me know if this can work once I use this patch. Yes, this is the idea. With bus multiplexing support, we can finally handle bus topologies with multiple chips using the same I2C address. > 2)Which kernel version you use for this patch? > > 3) Where can I download your patch so that I can give it a > shot.

I am reviewing the patches at the moment, after Michael sends an updated version addressing my comments, we should be ready to go.
