Not sure about sticking this in usb/misc. We already have an MFD driver
(dln2) for something like this with i2c and spi iirc. The difference
from regular MFDs here is that these modes are mutually exclusive.

If it was just an i2c driver with some pins to toggle, I'd say just add
it to drivers/i2c but that would probably make it harder to reuse code
for the SPI driver.

I'm not really reviewing the rest of the driver, just pointing out a few
more things that stood out below.

Have you verified that the i2c subsystem can handle a device being
removed like this while in use. That wasn't the case a few years back.

NULL-deref in case a device lacks the expected endpoints.

Last time I checked (a few weeks ago) you could still not set names for
hotpluggable devices of which there could be more than one or you'd get
a warning when plugging a second device in. Not sure if Linus W fixed
that yet.
