Well, there's a lot of disagreement on this subject.  Not only do we
not agree on a method of enumerating devices, a lot of people have a
problem with the concept of enumerating them in the first place!

An interesting point is that I enforced an index in the i2c-ibm_iic
driver with no disagreement at all ;)

I added it to the fsl_soc as well without any fuss, but I may need to withdraw
it.  Technically, the I2C nodes in our device trees should not have a cell-index
property, because there are no shared registers.
