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
