Assuming that the device supports different addresses (I can't validate
that as I don't have access to the datasheet), and different addresses
need to be used on different systems, then the address to be used needs
to be provided by the firmware (DT in this case). Two options are
possible, either specifying the address explicitly in the device's DT
node, or specifying free addresses (in the form of a white list or black
list) and allocating an address from that pool. The latter has been
discussed in a BoF at the Linux Plumbers Conference last week,
https://linuxplumbersconf.org/event/4/contributions/542/.
