Thank you for the Cc, so here we have the opposite situation as
with the devices with the AXP288 PMIC and the Cherry Trail
Whiskey Cove PMIC combined with the TI bq24292i charger and max17042
fuel-gauge. In those cases we have well working native drivers
for the used chips and we don't know the API of the custom ACPI
OpRegion the ACPI battery and ac interface implementing ACPI nodes
want. So for these devices we've disabled the ACPI battery and
ac drivers and are using power_supply drivers for the used chips
directly.

Here we've a similar setup where the ACPI nodes implementing the
ACPI battery and ac interfaces require a custom OpRegion, but
Benjamin has more or less figured out what the expected Opregion
API is (and implemented it) and we do not know which chips are
actually used.

Judging from the above I believe that implementing the ACPI
OpRegion support for the MSHW0011 devices is a good solution
in this case.

Familiar yes, but I actually already looked at this rev-eng driver while working
on my INT33FE support and it is for different chips, and I don't know for
which models exactly.

Right, this is something I can actually help with. When implementing the
INT33FE support (*) I also was dealing with an ACPI node with more then 1
I2cSerialBus type resource and I needed not just an i2c-client for the
first one (which the i2c-core gives us) but also for the others.

In 4.12 there is an i2c_acpi_new_device function which you can use
to create an i2c-client for the second i2c address you want to communicate
with, here is an example usage:

struct i2c_board_info board_info;

memset(&board_info, 0, sizeof(board_info));
strlcpy(board_info.type, "MSHW0011-bat0", I2C_NAME_SIZE);
bat0 = i2c_acpi_new_device(dev, 1, &board_info);

And then you can use bat0 to communicate to the other address,
as before, while dropping a whole bunch of copy-pasted code :)

Hans



*) Well an implementation of INT33FE support really since there seem to be many
different INT33FE devices, each one for a different charger / fuel-gauge combi
and you can only differentiate which one you're actually dealing with by
checking the PTYPE APCI Object and my implementation only supports PTYPE 4
