Based on the information I have received so far, the FPGA is interposed
between the host and sensor. It could therefore be modelled in DT as
child of the I2C bus and a parent of the sensor.

New version of some of the Vision Components modules have fixed the
multi-read bug, so we will still need a property in the FPGA DT node to
indicate if the quirk should be activated.
