Some I2C devices have multiple addresses assigned, for example each address corresponding to a different internal register map page of the device. So far drivers which need support for this have handled this with a driver specific and non-generic implementation, e.g. passing the additional address via platform data. This patch provides a new helper function called i2c_new_secondary_device() which is intended to provide a generic way to get the secondary address as well as instantiate a struct i2c_client for the secondary address. The function expects a pointer to the primary i2c_client, a name for the secondary address and an optional default address. The name is used as a handle to specify which secondary address to get. The default address is used as a fallback in case no secondary address was explicitly specified. In case no secondary address and no default address were specified the function returns NULL. For now the function only supports look-up of the secondary address from devicetree, but it can be extended in the future to for example support board files and/or ACPI. Signed-off-by:
