Andrew,
You didn't miss it - I probably need to explain it better.
The 'emulated devices' do respond on different slave addresses (which
match one of or the only the slave addresses those parts support). For
example the device-tree for the GW54xx has the following which are all
from the GSC which is the only thing on i2c1:

One issue I'm trying to figure out the best way to deal with is the
fact that the GSC can 'NAK' transactions occasionally which is why I
override the regmap read/write functions and provide retries. This
resolves the issue for the mfd core driver and sub-module drivers but
doesn't resolve the issue with these 'emulated devices' which have
their own stand-alone drivers. I'm not sure how to best deal with that
yet. I tried to add retires to the i2c adapter but that wasn't
accepted upstream because it was too generic and I was told I need to
work around it in device-drivers. I'm guessing I need to write my own
sub-module drivers that will largely duplicate whats in the
stand-alone drivers (ds1672, at24, pca9553x).

Tim
