I'm trying to get camera sensors detected on a Microsoft Surface Go 2
machine (ACPI dumps available at
https://github.com/linux-surface/acpidumps/tree/master/surface_go_2).
The CPU is an Intel Pentium Gold 4425Y, based on Kaby Lake-Y. The DSDT
has been carefully designed, with great care to make it as useless as
possible, so I'm experiencing a few issues.

One of the camera sensors is connected to I2C4, backed by an LPSS I2C
controller.

00:19.2 Signal processing controller: Intel Corporation Sunrise Point-LP Serial IO I2C Controller #4 (rev 21)
        Subsystem: QUANTA Computer Inc Sunrise Point-LP Serial IO I2C Controller
        Flags: fast devsel, IRQ 34
        Memory at b1648000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
        Capabilities: [80] Power Management version 3
        Capabilities: [90] Vendor Specific Information: Len=14 <?>
        Kernel modules: intel_lpss_pci

Unfortunately the driver fails to probe due to the same issue reported
by Ben:

[    2.060237] intel-lpss 0000:00:19.2: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
[    2.060483] ACPI Warning: SystemMemory range 0x00000000B1648000-0x00000000B16481FF conflicts with OpRegion 0x00000000B1648000-0x00000000B1648207 (\_SB.PCI0.GEXP.BAR0) (20200528/utaddress-213)
[    2.060489] ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver
[    2.060726] intel-lpss: probe of 0000:00:19.2 failed with error -16

I've checked the GEXP device in the DSDT, and it includes an LPSS I2C
host controller driver in AML, using an OpRegion that covers the I2C
controller registers.

Adding acpi_enforce_resources=lax to the kernel command line allows the
I2C controller to be probed, but that's hardly a good solution, as two
drivers (one in the DSDT, one in the kernel) that poke the same hardware
is calling for trouble.

I've noticed that Windows maps the devices to different addresses than
Linux. On Windows, the I2C controllers are at

I2C0 (8086:9d60): 0xfe40f000 - 0xfe40ffff (IRQ 16)
I2C1 (8086:9d61): 0xfe40e000 - 0xfe40efff (IRQ 17)
I2C2 (8086:96d2): 0xfe40d000 - 0xfe40dfff (IRQ 18)
I2C3 (8086:96d3): 0xfe40c000 - 0xfe40cfff (IRQ 19)
I2C4 (8086:96d4): 0xfe409000 - 0xfe409fff (IRQ 34)

while on Linux they're at

I2C0 (8086:9d60): 0xb1642000 - 0xb1642fff (IRQ 16)
I2C1 (8086:9d61): 0xb1643000 - 0xb1643fff (IRQ 17)
I2C2 (8086:96d2): 0xb1644000 - 0xb1644fff (IRQ 18)
I2C3 (8086:96d3): 0xb1645000 - 0xb1645fff (IRQ 19)
I2C4 (8086:96d4): 0xb1648000 - 0xb1648fff (IRQ 34)

Interestingly, the I2C4 object contains the following in the DSDT:

            If ((SMD4 != 0x02))
            {
                Name (_HID, "INT3446")  // _HID: Hardware ID
                Method (_HRV, 0, NotSerialized)  // _HRV: Hardware Revision
                {
                    Return (LHRV (SB14))
                }

                Method (_CRS, 0, NotSerialized)  // _CRS: Current Resource Settings
                {
                    Return (LCRS (SMD4, SB04, SIR4))
                }

                Method (_STA, 0, NotSerialized)  // _STA: Status
                {
                    Return (LSTA (SMD4))
                }
            }

            If ((SMD4 == 0x02))
            {
                Name (_ADR, 0x00190002)  // _ADR: Address
                Method (_DSM, 4, Serialized)  // _DSM: Device-Specific Method
                {
                    If (PCIC (Arg0))
                    {
                        Return (PCID (Arg0, Arg1, Arg2, Arg3))
                    }

                    Return (Buffer (One)
                    {
                         0x00                                             // .
                    })
                }
            }

I've evaluated SMD4 with acpidbg and it's equal to 2. I thought it might
be set to a different value in windows, but the hardware IDs reported by
the device manager all refer to the PCI device, not the ACPI device, so
I don't think that's a lead.

I really wonder how this is supposed to be handled, would the device
really be designed to work in such an unsafe way ? Does Windows remap
the BAR due to the conflict with the GEXP, rendering the GEXP
non-operational after boot ? I have tried to locate the GEXP in the
device manager in Windows, but with its _STA method returning 0x0b, it
seems not to be visible.
