The problem is not internal to i2c-multi-instantiate.c, the problem
(once we pass a fwnode) is the API between i2c-multi-instantiate.c and
the i2c-core. For the IRQ_RESOURCE_NONE case i2c-multi-instantiate.c
sets board_info.irq to 0, which is the correct way to specify that
we do not have an IRQ, but if don't pass an IRQ then the i2c-core
will try to find one itself.  And once we pass the fwnode, then
the "try to find one itself" code will call i2c_acpi_get_irq()
and find the same IRQ for clients we instantiate, leading to
the earlier mentioned IRQ conflict.

<adding Wolfram + i2c lists to the Cc>

We could set board_info.irq to -ENOENT to indicate that there should
not be an irq. But that will get passed to various i2c-drivers, many of
which check for an irq like this:

	if (client->irq) {
		...
	}

We can avoid this, without needing to change all the drivers
by making the i2c-core check for board_info.irq < 0 to skip its
own "try to find IRQ" code and then set client->irq to 0 after
that check, rather then setting it to board_info.irq = -ENOENT.

If we do that then we can unconditionally pass the fwnode in
the i2c-multi-instantiate code.

Regards,

Hans
