THe OF generic case is about discovering slaves underneath a port, not
ports inside of a mulit-port master.

I am not aware of a generic mechanism for the latter. We *could* make
the ports sub-devices but it gets messy then to arbitrate the
communication and deal with the common part. I've seen (and written)
multi-port masters in the past that use a similar approach to what
Eddie's doing and it works fine.

Thanks. Also thanks for taking the time to review.
