Thank you,
I am still not sure how to do it using sysfs entries.
Eventually I used dmesg to see the order of enumeration:
[    0.640000] tmp102 1-004a: initialized
[    0.640000] tmp102 1-0049: error reading config register
[    0.640000] tmp102: probe of 1-0049 failed with error -121
[    0.640000] tmp102 1-0048: initialized

But I think it's quite bad method.

Thanks,
