Pull i2c updates from Wolfram Sang: "Features: - new drivers: Renesas EMEV2, register based MUX, NXP LPC2xxx - core: scans DT and assigns wakeup interrupts. no driver changes needed. - core: some refcouting issues fixed and better API for that - core: new helper function for best effort block read emulation - slave framework: proper DT bindings and userspace instantiation - some bigger work for xiic, pxa, omap drivers .. and quite a number of smaller driver fixes, cleanups, improvements" * 'i2c/for-4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wsa/linux: (65 commits) i2c: mux: reg Change ioread endianness for readback i2c: mux: reg: fix compilation warnings i2c: mux: reg: simplify register size checking i2c: muxes: fix leaked i2c adapter device node references i2c: allow specifying separate wakeup interrupt in device tree of/irq: export of_get_irq_byname() i2c: xgene-slimpro: dma_mapping_error() doesn't return an error code i2c: Replace I2C_CROS_EC_TUNNEL dependency eeprom: at24: use i2c_smbus_read_i2c_block_data_or_emulated i2c: core: Add support for best effort block read emulation i2c: lpc2k: add driver i2c: mux: Add register-based mux i2c-mux-reg i2c: dt: describe generic bindings i2c: slave: print warning if slave flag not set i2c: support 10 bit and slave addresses in sysfs 'new_device' i2c: take address space into account when checking for used addresses i2c: apply DT flags when probing i2c: make address check indpendent from client struct i2c: rename address check functions i2c: apply address offset for slaves, too ...

===========
I2C slave backends behave like standard I2C clients. So, you can instantiate
-them as described in the document 'instantiating-devices'. A quick example for
-instantiating the slave-eeprom driver from userspace at address 0x64 on bus 1:
+them as described in the document 'instantiating-devices'. The only difference
+is that i2c slave backends have their own address space. So, you have to add
+0x1000 to the address you would originally request. An example for
+instantiating the slave-eeprom driver from userspace at the 7 bit address 0x64
+on bus 1:
- # echo slave-24c02 0x64 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
+ # echo slave-24c02 0x1064 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
Each backend should come with separate documentation to describe its specific
behaviour and setup.
