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
