I admit I didn't follow the discussions referenced in the footnotes, but
I wonder if the slave part should be added to the device tree at all.
AFAICT it could (and so should) be completely userspace-defined which
slave driver is used on which address. I imagine that for most
controllers the bus addresses to use can be chosen more or less freely.
So what am I missing?
