This patch provides a new helper function called
i2c_new_secondary_device()
which is intended to provide a generic way to get the secondary address
as well as instantiate a struct i2c_client for the secondary address.
The function expects a pointer to the primary i2c_client, a name
for the secondary address and an optional default address. The name is
used as a handle to specify which secondary address to get.
The default address is used as a fallback in case no secondary address
was explicitly specified. In case no secondary address and no default
address were specified the function returns NULL.
For now the function only supports look-up of the secondary address
from devicetree, but it can be extended in the future
to for example support board files and/or ACPI.
As this is core code I believe the DT bindings should be documented
somewhere in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/i2c/.
Mmh, probably yes, but I don't know where precisely, as all the
bindings are devices specific here...
Lucky you, you can create the I2C core DT bindings documentation :-)
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/i2c/i2c.txt sounds like a good candidate.

to create I2C dummy clients to communicate with all the other slaves.
This function creates an returns an I2C dummy client whose I2C address is

address is specified by the firmware default_addr is used.
On DT-based platforms the address is retrieved from the reg property entry
