Subject: i2c: Add i2c_new_dummy() utility
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e9f1373b643887f63878d1169b310c9acc534cd5;p=GitHub%2Fexynos8895%2Fandroid_kernel_samsung_universal8895.git

i2c: Add i2c_new_dummy() utility

This adds a i2c_new_dummy() primitive to help work with devices
that consume multiple addresses, which include many I2C eeproms
and at least one RTC.
