Yes, both are needed. AFAIU SPI is added so the firmware upload is faster.

I guess a phandle at the I2C slave device node, pointing to the SPI node
and/or the other way around would do. I don't expect these devices to be 
used in multiple instances though and would prefer to address that when
necessary.

We could try and create a root node for this device with an interesting 
structure, if we wanted to go much into details. But it could get a bit 
complicated given the scheme the I2C/SPI bus binding are structured now.
Presumably that's something that could be handled later with a different 
compatible string if required.

OK, I'll correct that.

Thanks for the review.
