By default the i2c-core will try to get an irq with index 0 on ACPI / of instantiated devices. This is troublesome on some ACPI systems where the irq info at index 0 in the CRS table may contain nonsense and/or point to an irqchip for which there is no Linux driver. If this happens then before this commit the driver's probe method would never get called because i2c_device_probe will try to get an irq by calling acpi_dev_gpio_irq_get which will always return -EPROBE in this case, as it waits for a matching irqchip driver to load. Thus causing the driver to not get a chance to bind. This commit adds a new disable_i2c_core_irq_mapping flag to struct i2c_driver which a driver can set to tell the core to skip irq mapping.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
