[PATCH v6 0/9] Support Spi in i2c-multi-instantiate driver

[Stefan Binding]

Add support for SPI bus in the i2c-multi-instantiate driver as
upcoming laptops will need to multi instantiate SPI devices from
a single device node, which has multiple SpiSerialBus entries at
the ACPI table.

With the new SPI support, i2c-multi-instantiate becomes
bus-multi-instantiate and is moved to the ACPI folder.

The intention is to support the SPI bus by re-using the current
I2C multi instantiate, instead of creating a new SPI multi
instantiate, to make it possible for peripherals that can be
controlled by I2C or SPI to have the same HID at the ACPI table.

The new driver (serial multi instantiate, smi) checks for the
hard-coded bus type and returns -ENODEV in case of zero devices
found for that bus. In the case of automatic bus detection, 
the driver will give preference to I2C.

The expectation is for a device node in the ACPI table to have
multiple I2cSerialBus only or multiple SpiSerialBus only, not
a mix of both; and for the case where there are both entries in
one device node, only the I2C ones would be probed.

This new serial multi instantiate will be used in CS35L41 HDA new
driver.

Changes since V5:
 - comment, commit message and Kconfig description fixes
 - minor fixes in serial-multi-instantiate
 - use lowercase for SSIDs in patch_realtek.c
