We currently do this using entity-manager configurations and component 
detection, however as mentioned it requires similar device trees. We get 
around this by having most of our designs have similar i2c topology, and 
using a limited device tree and exporting devices during runtime. I 
imagine at some point this will break and we'll need one of the 
solutions in the other email thread as well.
