Those child nodes represent the downstream i2c buses, and so also
contain the i2c slave devices, right? If so, you may want to document
that, and/or add a simple device to that example (say, an EEPROM).

Yes, good point, but the driver currently wouldn't do anything with that device information. It doesn't keep a list of populated devices on the bus or anything. Still worth adding them to the device tree?

Thanks,
Eddie
