Eventually maybe, but not for the initial change.
It is complicated, making this change has side-effects and we want to limit those side-effects to only i2c-clients instantiated from serial-multi-instantiate for now, see my other reply to this patch.
I do believe that we eventually want to make this change, to easily give drivers access to all sorts of info (e.g. _DSM methods) from the matching ACPI fw-node, but as I said it is complicated...
Regards,
Hans
