There was a discussion a while ago in the context of I2C/SPI MFDs
which concluded that if you need a bus and it's going to be effectively
noop then you should just use the platform bus as anything else will
consist almost entirely of cut'n'paste from the platform bus with some
light sed usage and code duplication is bad.  It's not super lovely as
it's not actually a memory mapped device but it's the best idea we've
got.
