That's fine with me. I expected the dts to be converted to platform
initialization data (i2c_board_info structures) being registered with
i2c_register_board_info() and numbered adapters. But if you prefer
unnumbered adapters and the platform code or the bus driver itself
calls i2c_new_device() based on the dts, that should work too.
