It looks like it. i2c-core needs to be compiled static for the OF bindings to work.
I guess in Kconfig "depends on OF && I2C" must be changed into "depends on OF && (I2C=y)"

On the other hand, i didn't test the patch without the dependent patches, so it might not work as expected:

or the original ones from Jean Delvare:

Thanks,
