if you had read the footnotes you would know :-) Our usecase is connect an
embeedded controller via i2c to the host soc, similar to cros-ec, but here the
ec is the i2c master. The ec connects keyboard, mouse, pwrmngt, and other
stuff, for which the drivers are best implemented in kernel code AFAIK.
