It's a bit confusing, maybe you can clear it up:
it appears to be an I2C device, so when you say this is a
"development board" is there something like a board
controller that is accessed over I2C and this is what the
driver really probes to, not the board per se?

I guess jamming this card into the I2C slot of any other
system (would work fine with a 96Boards LS connector
as it seems, actually) also involves connecting some
I2S or similar on the side for high-datarate traffic?

This driver seems to only concern itself with the I2C
board controller per se, not the board is that right?

Yours,
Linus Walleij
