Looking at i2c_new_client_device(), it only takes a single software node.
For an endpoint at least three are required, meaning you'll need to do that

Looking forward to that. Btw. I've taken the four patches you posted
earlier, rebased them a little and pushed them here:

Let me know if they're (not) fine.
