I'll likely spend some time on A31 stuff tomorrow evening. If I've soe
success then I'll let you know. If I don't report anything I did not
have any success :) Either way feel free to beat me to getting either
one working on A31.

Right, this is likely something specific to this board.

Sounds good (better then writing our own subsys). About the extra
controller flag, that would be to opt-out of drivers which do
auto bus scanning, as well as maybe to opt out of the creation
of i2c-dev /dev nodes. As we're not really i2c and we may want
to avoid userspace from poking the bus.

Anyways first we need to learn more about this.

Hans
