There are systems with more than 8 memory slots where the i2c bus for SPD is multiplexed. i2c_register_spd() isn't used yet on such systems, but it's planned. So we need to extend ee1004 accordingly. With this extension a maximum of 8 i2c busses is supported. I don't have such a system for testing, therefore I just verified that the driver still works on a system with a single i2c bus. For the sake of simplicity the extension uses the existing global mutex to protect access on all busses. This could be improved, but we support 8 busses only, and SPD data is small and rarely accessed, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
