I think you are miss-understanding the problem. The problem is not that
we want to share the IRQ, the problem is that we want to pass the single
IRQ in the resources to only 1 of the instantiated I2C-clients. But if we
do not pass an IRQ (we leave it at 0) and we do pass the fwnode then
i2c-core-base.c will see that there is an ACPI-node attached to the
device and will call i2c_acpi_get_irq().

So the solution is definitely not calling i2c_acpi_get_irq() inside
i2c-multi-instantiate.c we want to avoid the i2c_acpi_get_irq(),
leaving the other 2 clients for the BSG1160 device without an IRQ
and thus avoiding the IRQ mismatch (it is a mismatch because the
drivers do not set the shared flag; and that is ok, we do not want
to share the IRQ, it is just for the accelerometer AFAIK).

Regards,

Hans
