An ATR is a device that looks similar to an i2c-mux: it has an I2C slave "upstream" port and N master "downstream" ports, and forwards transactions from upstream to the appropriate downstream port. But it is different in that the forwarded transaction has a different slave address. The address used on the upstream bus is called the "alias" and is (potentially) different from the physical slave address of the downstream chip. Add a helper file (just like i2c-mux.c for a mux or switch) to allow implementing ATR features in a device driver. The helper takes care of adapter creation/destruction and translates addresses at each transaction.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
