I believe my comments to the first driver applies to the next two, so please
address them whenever you are agree / it's possible / it makes sense.

About ATR implementation. We have the i2c bus (Linux representation of
the driver model) and i2c_adapter and i2c_client objects there. Can't we
have an i2c_client_aliased in similar way and be transparent with users?

It's just a thought which may be well far from the possibility
to be implemented if even possible...
