'git grep -c i2c@ -- "*dts*"' told me exynos7 has 12 i2c interfaces.
And as long as I have gpios (pcf8574?), I can add more using i2c-gpio.
Hence the upper limit is infinity.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
