Only probing for I2C resources if some are present is deliberate:

commit 68f201f9061c000d7a4a9f359f021b1cd535d62b

    platform/x86: serial-multi-instantiate: Add SPI support
    
    Add support for spi bus in serial-multi-instantiate driver
    
    Some peripherals can have either a I2C or a SPI connection
    to the host (but not both) but use the same HID for both
    types. So it is not possible to use the HID to determine
    whether it is I2C or SPI. The driver must check the node
    to see if it contains I2cSerialBus or SpiSerialBus entries.
    
    For backwards-compatibility with the existing nodes I2C is
    checked first and if such entries are found ONLY I2C devices
    are created. Since some existing nodes that were already
    handled by this driver could also contain unrelated
    SpiSerialBus nodes that were previously ignored, and this
    preserves that behavior. If there is ever a need to handle
    a node where both I2C and SPI devices must be instantiated
    this can be added in future.

So nack for this change.
