What's that? 'hot-pluggable via GPIO i2c bus' is not coherent.

Bindings are for h/w, not a driver.

What are these for? You don't have any child nodes.

Looks like the same signal. You should only need one of them. Probably 
'detect-gpios' as I guess you need to read the state of the line.

Couldn't you just add 'detect-gpios' to the existing bus node? It's 
really part of that bus and there's not a separate bus. That would be a 
lot simpler. I suppose you want to instantiate a driver, but that's not 
DT's problem.
