Now you end up indexing inst_data with i without checking that inst_data
holds enough data. Not using all of inst_data in case there are less
I2cSerialBus resources then inst_data entries is fine. But you need to
deal with the case when there are more I2cSerialBus resources then inst_data
entries, either by erroring out or ignoring the extra I2cSerialBus resources.

Also it might be better to make the i2c_multi_inst_count_resources() function
a generic helper under drivers/acpi, so that it can be used in other places,
see my comments to the BOSC0200 patch.
