Please remind me, are those two actual bus musters driving a single
bus in parallel or two SPMI buses being handled by a single device? In
the latter case this implementation is incorrect. There should be
multiple spmi_controller instances, one for each bus. Allocate them in
a loop and set ctrl->dev.of_node after allocating.
