I don't think there should be a max here? There is no reason for not
supporting more than 2 other masters. True, the current Linux driver
happens to only support 1 other master. So if there should be a max,
I guess it should be 1? But that feels like an implementation
detail of the driver. The Linux driver bails out with an error if
there are more than one other master, it's the only thing it does
with that 2nd 'their-claim-goios' ref.
