Currently, every driver has to do it on its own, but it should be done
in the core, like we already do with board_info structs.

Based on v3.5-rc2. Only build tested, I don't have a OF based device
around at the moment.
Won't that conflict with i2c-powermac doing it its own way ?
Yup :(

I assume there is no chance that the powermac devicetree can be
pre-processed to be compatible with of_i2c_register_devices?
That would be nasty and need a lot of testing on all sort of machines I
don't have direct access to.

Maybe we can set a flag somewhere to indicate to the core not to run the
default probing on that controller ?

Cheers,
Ben.
