vim I only see the i2c-gpio platform data structure as following:
--<---------------------
struct i2c_gpio_platform_data {
	unsigned int	sda_pin;
	unsigned int	scl_pin;
	int		udelay;
	int		timeout;
	unsigned int	sda_is_open_drain:1;
	unsigned int	scl_is_open_drain:1;
	unsigned int	scl_is_output_only:1;
};
-->---------------------

So, how to allow a fixed bus number to be specified in platform data?
