After going through all the discussions here, I have a few questions:
1. Is the old `*_register_device(controller, board_info)` style
discouraged in favor of using device tree, at least for drivers using
multiple fundamental buses (i2c, spi, etc)? Or is the problem just that
these bindings do not leave open the possibility of using device tree
overlays? Will it be fine if the dt bindings allow for dt overlays, but
the driver still uses imperative registering of board?
2. Is the preferred way to handle virtual devices (like those created by
greybus subsystem) now device tree? Is that one of the blockers for
greybus i2c, spi etc to still be in staging?
3. How are virtual devices created in device tree? If I register an i2c
adapter using `i2c_add_adapter`, is the device tree entry is dynamically
created, which can then be used by a device tree overlay?
