This LGTM but at first I was wondering why I2C is listed here but I3C
is not. I3C is listed under driver-api/index.html. So are some other
buses.
That is a little confusing to me. ISTM that we need so *not* have
2 places listing bus documentation...
Anyway, this is a good start on that. It could be merged as is.
