Would be good to hear some detail the reasoning for the design
choices here? Normally (I2C/SPI) the master sits on whatever bus
the host uses to talk to the master so often this might be the
platform bus for memory mapped devices, it then creates a bus and
slaves register to that. This also has the nice property that its
easy to create devices that sit behind other buses, for example
here we might want a SoundWire master that sits behind a SPI bus.
But you seem to have gone in the other direction and have the
master sitting on the same bus as the slaves.
