Ah! That's really useful, thank you. We can handle the clock the same
way as regulators are being handled now, so that's no problem. And
likewise 0x01 for power down can just be mapped to the Sensor device
along with the reset pin and led pins. "Power enable" sounds like a
regulator indeed...it's not present on many (most) of our sensors
actually but that's not a problem for them of course as they'll just be
driven by the dummy regulators.


Thanks for the info

But the resources need to be available to the sensor devices; they're
basically in the wrong place. They should be in _CRS of the sensor,
rather than INT3472, so we need to map them across.

We need the full i2c device name, which afaik isn't available from the
acpi_device

I considered DMI too, no problem to switch to that if it's a better choice.
