greybus is patent-encumbered free so there should not be any prior-art
issues involved with it and could work here just fine (with the added
bonus that you only need to write a tiny host bridge driver and then
suddenly all of the client drivers will "just work").
I strongly recommend that instead of going off and creating new specs
and protocols that ignore prior-art.
