[PATCH] i2c: of: Try to find an I2C adapter matching the parent

[Thierry Reding]

From: Thierry Reding <treding at nvidia.com>

If an I2C adapter doesn't match the provided device tree node, also try
matching the parent's device tree node. This allows finding an adapter
based on the device node of the parent device that was used to register
it.

Hi Wolfram,

This is a fix for the issue discussed in a long email thread a couple of
months ago. In a nutshell the issue is that we want to be able to find a
I2C-over-AUX adapter based on the device tree node (this is to hook up a
I2C adapter for use as DDC to query EDID from a display panel, for
example).

Here's a link to the prior discussion, which ended up getting split into
two for some reason, possibly because the initial submission and
subsequent discussion took place over an extended period of time:

	https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9516105/
	https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10200879/

I never got around to submitting the patch properly, but here it is. As
mentioned in the discussion linked to above, I think the problem here is
that the new lookup via the parent device only happens when looking for
the adapter from its device tree node. However, this also means that the
children for the controller won't be added for these devices, because it
only happens for adapters that have the dev->of_node set, not for the
node reference by dev->parent->of_node. However, I'm not sure if that's
really a problem. A device that doesn't have dev->of_node set would be a
"virtual" I2C bus, as in the case of I2C-over-AUX. Proper I2C busses are
still going to have to have their dev->of_node set, otherwise any child
devices listed in device tree won't be added.

Anyway, let me know what you think of this. Also adding Lucas, Rob and
Andrzej to the discussion since they were involved back at the time.

Thanks,
Thierry
