Add support for SPI bus in the i2c-multi-instantiate driver as upcoming laptops will need to multi instantiate SPI devices from a single device node, which has multiple SpiSerialBus entries at the ACPI table.
With the new SPI support, i2c-multi-instantiate becomes bus-multi-instantiate and is moved to the ACPI folder.
The intention is to support the SPI bus by re-using the current I2C multi instantiate, instead of creating a new SPI multi instantiate, to make it possible for peripherals that can be controlled by I2C or SPI to have the same HID at the ACPI table.
The new driver (serial multi instantiate, smi) checks for the hard-coded bus type and returns -ENODEV in case of zero devices found for that bus. In the case of automatic bus detection, the driver will give preference to I2C.
The expectation is for a device node in the ACPI table to have multiple I2cSerialBus only or multiple SpiSerialBus only, not a mix of both; and for the case where there are both entries in one device node, only the I2C ones would be probed.
This new serial multi instantiate will be used in CS35L41 HDA new driver.
Changes since V4: - renamed bus-multi-instantiate to serial-multi-instantiate - various minor fixes in serial-multi-instantiate - fix returns in serial-multi-instantiate - removed unnecessary stubs in spi.h - re-order SSIDs in patch_realtek.c
