We developed this type of driver in STMicroelectronics to be able to share an I2C link between the main processor(Linux) and the coprocessor (Zephyr). We plan to usptream it but some other patchsets currently in pipe are requested first. The Linux driver is available here: https://github.com/arnopo/linux/commit/747a05d4f3a875ff0b6ad3fc57965134d7a02ed3 The full project created for the ELCE 2019 is described in this page: https://github.com/arnopo?tab=projects Hope that this can help.
