I'll drop this patch from the series. I didn't have all the context and thought
that was an opportunity to add an I2C type, since there was a SPI type already.

But seems to be more controversial than I expected and shouldn't really matter
for a tiny driver like this. I will just go ahead and use the Unknown type.
