Dear Linux folks,

Please apply commit 13e3a512a290 (i2c: smbus: Support up to 8 SPD EEPROMs) [1] to the stable series to get rid of a warning and to support more SPDs. That commit is present since v6.8-rc1.

How far back? But isn't this a new feature, why is it needed in older kernels? It's not a fix for a regression.

thanks,
