 This method is appropriate when the I2C bus is a system bus as is the case
 for many embedded systems. On such systems, each I2C bus has a number

+Method 1b: Declare the I2C devices via devicetree
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+This method has the same implications as method 1a. The declaration of I2C
+devices is here done via devicetree as subnodes of the master controller.
+
+Example:
+
+	i2c1: i2c@400a0000 {
+		/* ... master properties skipped ... */
+		clock-frequency = <100000>;
+
+		flash@50 {
+			compatible = "atmel,24c256";
+			reg = <0x50>;
+		};
+
+		pca9532: gpio@60 {
+			compatible = "nxp,pca9532";
+			gpio-controller;
+			#gpio-cells = <2>;
+			reg = <0x60>;
+		};
+	};
+
+Here, two devices are attached to the bus using a speed of 100kHz. For
+additional properties which might be needed to set up the device, please refer
+to its devicetree documentation in Documentation/devicetree/bindings/.

+Method 1c: Declare the I2C devices via ACPI
+-------------------------------------------
+
+ACPI can also describe I2C devices. There is special documentation for this
+which is currently located at Documentation/acpi/enumeration.txt.
