As Sven correctly switched from %lx to %p, this is intended behaviour.
Run 'i2cdetect' as root to see the values again.

I think the address could just get removed here, as this is clearly not helpful.
port number, which is somewhat useful for identifying the device, now
it's either the pointless string, or the virtual address that the
device is mapped
to, which is not helpful either and potentially leaks information about kernel
internal structures.

Yeah, now that I'm looking at it again it doesn't make much sense to
include it there. Maybe just dev_name(smbus->dev) instead of the address?
