Drop any we don't have evidence are out there.

Do we have any confirmation from Bosch (or products in the wild) for
the structurally correct BOSC0160 etc? Those would normally have
to be tracked by Bosch as allocated for this purpose.

We want the incorrect formatted ones to be as hard to use as possible to discourage
them going into new products. Can't do anything to solve the i2c cases
but definitely don't want to allow them for SPI as well if no evidence
of products where it yet matters.

If we have confirmation from Bosch of the BOSC forms, then those I would like
in the SPI drivers as well (to point to the correct option for anyone using
this in future!)
