My question is whether there is slave/device IP for implementing the
device side in software? The slave drivers in the kernel are for
handling those devices, not a slave side controller interface.

For comparison, we have SPI slave in the kernel which is for
implementing the device side in software (running Linux or another
OS). There is no such thing in the kernel for 1-wire and I would doubt
there would ever be a software implementation. Could you, yes, but
given the limited nature of 1-wire why would you?

Okay, I suppose that is good enough reason.

However, the versioning comments in your first v2 have not been
addressed. I believe the conclusion was to mention the IP has a
version register. And Conor's R-by tag was not added.
