I get the impression that this fsl_i2c_of_init function is doing the
probing in the opposite way it should. Instead of searching the
whole device tree for type=3D"i2c" devices to call=20
platform_device_register_simple, can't you use of_platform_bus_probe
to create the i2c device in the first place, and then have a
of_platform_driver that calls of_register_i2c_devices() in its probe
function?
