Subject: [PATCH] i2c: slave: fix the example how to instantiate from userspace
I copied the wrong shell code into the documentation. Sorry to all who
tried to get sense out of this current example :/ Slight rewording while
we are here.

===========
I2C slave backends behave like standard I2C clients. So, you can instantiate
-them like described in the document 'instantiating-devices'. A quick example
-for instantiating the slave-eeprom driver from userspace:
+them as described in the document 'instantiating-devices'. A quick example for
+instantiating the slave-eeprom driver from userspace at address 0x64 on bus 1:
- # echo 0-0064 > /sys/bus/i2c/drivers/i2c-slave-eeprom/bind
+ # echo slave-24c02 0x64 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
Each backend should come with separate documentation to describe its specific
behaviour and setup.
