Both! The driver would get probed from the i2c bus, and it would
create and register an spi master. If the spi bus registration
includes a pointer to the device tree node, then the child nodes will
automatically be registered as spi_devices.
The dts is also fairly straight forward:
i2c-bus: i2c at 80001000 {
compatible = <blah>;
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
spi-bus: spi at 28{
compatible = "nxp,sc18is602";
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0x28>;
reg = <0>;
spi-device at 0 {
compatible = <blah>;
reg = <0>;
};
spi-device at 1 {
compatible = <blah>;
reg = <1>;
};
spi-device at 2 {
compatible = <blah>;
reg = <2>;
};
};
};
Cheers,
