Yes, to add the multiple address list in i2c_client, then adding address 
index in i2c apis, adding address index in regmap inits etc. can require 
lots of RFE patches in different subsystem. We can keep discussing this 
and once conclude, we can go for implementation.

But for now, can I assume that this patch is fine for resolving my 
interrupt issue?

Thanks,
