Yes, i don't understand this code. It looks impossible to use it using
platform_data with more than one controller. Any idea why its like
this? I didn't want to change the behavior because i don't understand
why its like this.
However, it should be possible to instantiate multiple I2C controllers
using DT. However, i've only tested it with one.
