break if we move it down right after i2c? Another hackish interim solution 
would be to replace module_init with subsys_init in i2c-sh_mobile.c like 
some other i2c adapters do (including MXC, PXA). That's certainly easier, 
but then we'd also have to modify i2c-imx, later maybe i2c-at91.c...

That'd be sensible long term anyway - voltage and current regulators are
often I2C devices and they need to be initialised very early in order to
be available for general use.

If there are other requirements to have i2c initialise early we can well 
move it up the chain. I think it would be preferable to modifying each i2c 
host adapter driver to use subsys_init().
