The i2c2 alias cannot be resolved at compile time; there has to be

c) A method to trigger platform device creation for the child nodes just

DT core changes aren't bound to be easily accepted, so without having a clear
signal from the DT maintainers that they would consider such a method people
are just hesitant to go down this road.

I do agree and will accept such a method.
