Hi All,

Some ACPI systems list 2 I2C resources for the CM3218 sensor. On these
systems the first I2cSerialBus ACPI-resource points to the SMBus Alert
Response Address (ARA, 0x0c) and the second I2cSerialBus ACPI-resource
points to the actual CM3218 sensor address.

 From the ACPI/x86 side devices with more then 1 I2cSerialBus ACPI-resource
are handled by the drivers/platform/x86/i2c-multi-instantiate.c code.
This code will instantiate "cm32181" i2c_client-s for both resources.

Add a check to cm32181_probe() for the client's address being the ARA
address, and in that case fail the probe with -ENODEV.

On these ACPI systems the sensor may have a SMBus Alert asserted at boot,
if this is the case the sensor will not respond to any i2c_transfers on
its actual address until we read from the ARA register to clear the Alert.

Therefor we must (try to) read a byte from the client with the ARA
register, before returning -ENODEV, so that we clear the Alert and when
we get called again for the client instantiated for the second
I2cSerialBus ACPI-resource the sensor will respond to our i2c-transfers.

So this assumes that i2c-multi-inst will be used for ACPI
CPLM3218 device nodes and we get 2 separate i2c_clients for
the ARA, resp. the real address. This has been discussed on the
linux-acpi list and the conclusion is that that instanting 2
full i2c_clients is not the right solution.

Instead the cm32181 driver should create a "dummy" client
for the second address (which is part of the same chip)
itself, using an acpi version of i2c_new_dummy_device() or
i2c_new_ancillary_device()

I will prepare a v3
of this series with a better solution.

Regards,

Hans
