Then I am lost. What stage are you thinking? What differs between now
and let's say 1 month for the GS101 which was released more than three
years ago?

BTW, the aliases I see in downstream DTS (gs101-usi.dtsi) - since
beginning up to Android 14 are:

                hsi2c8 = &hsi2c_8;
                hsi2c9 = &hsi2c_9;
                hsi2c10 = &hsi2c_10;
                hsi2c11 = &hsi2c_11;
                hsi2c12 = &hsi2c_12;

They were set like this in 2020 and never changed afterwards.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
