The chip is like you described in 2). This is why the slaves are platform device.
It is not "complicated" it was just a little confuse.
Thanks for the nice explanation.
Next time if i develope a driver like this, i will use regmap but for the bmc i
will let it as it is.
I will send a v4 with the little remarks from your guys, in the next days.
Thanks.
