I forgot to mention module rename as a separate patch. So, something like 6
(or more) in a series I would expect.

I meant that you get an instance name from the first found device, like

	char instance_name[I2C...];

	adev = first_match_dev();
	if (adev) {
		snprintf(instance_name, ..., acpi_dev_name(adev));
		...
	} else {
		...
	}

Just use a common sense. Simple extrapolate it to the next change, if any,
among the same lines.

Yes, thanks!

The idea behind that any kcalloc() or kzalloc() against a container (whatever
data structure that has those property arrays) will do it for you. So, I think
neither kcalloc() nor stack is needed. Instantiate properties directly in the
arrays of sensor data structure.

I meant
	endpoint = fwnode_graph_get_next_endpoint(dev_fwnode(&pci_dev->dev), NULL);
