Unless I'm missing something, I would actually need to track if the bus type
is registered or not from bus.c. I can't find any field from bus_type that
tells me for sure if my bus is registered or not, except for p.
I actually think I don't need that check anyway. IIRC, this is something I
took from i2c-core.c but in the ME case it's most likely not needed.

That's right, I'll fix that.
