 ===========
 
 I2C slave backends behave like standard I2C clients. So, you can instantiate
-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:
+them as described in the document 'instantiating-devices'. The only difference
+is that i2c slave backends have their own address space. So, you have to add
+0x1000 to the address you would originally request. An example for
+instantiating the slave-eeprom driver from userspace at the 7 bit address 0x64
+on bus 1:
 
-  # echo slave-24c02 0x64 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
+  # echo slave-24c02 0x1064 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-1/new_device
 
 Each backend should come with separate documentation to describe its specific
 behaviour and setup.

@@ -2,6 +2,10 @@ The I2C protocol knows about two kinds of device addresses: normal 7 bit
 addresses, and an extended set of 10 bit addresses. The sets of addresses
 do not intersect: the 7 bit address 0x10 is not the same as the 10 bit
 address 0x10 (though a single device could respond to both of them).
+To avoid ambiguity, the user sees 10 bit addresses mapped to a different
+address space, namely 0xa000-0xa3ff. The leading 0xa (= 10) represents the
+10 bit mode. This is used for creating device names in sysfs. It is also
+needed when instantiating 10 bit devices via the new_device file in sysfs.
 
 I2C messages to and from 10-bit address devices have a different format.
 See the I2C specification for the details.
