Thanks for the comments. I will take care of most of the comments from 
you, and Joe and upload V2 shortly.
I will also include a controller driver this time.

Some slaves may choose to do expensive operations in their probes (or 
wait for logical address assignment). That will delay/block controller 
registration and further HW initialization of the controller.
I did not see any downside/side-effect in splitting them. I am open 
however to have them combined if that's the preferred way.

Thanks
