Sylwester,

Thanks for the review...

Good catch.  I think the old code is just as illegal since it was also
assigning to pdev->id, but I'm happy to spin the patch.

I'll just init i2c->adap.nr before calling i2c_pxa_probe_dt().  Then
i2c_pxa_probe_dt() can adjust the number.  Hopefully this is OK.

Sure, I've spun it.  While doing this I realized a few other issues
relating to the ID number.  Specifically:

* We were using the id (as %u) when creating 'i2c->adap.name'.  This
probably gave a very nonsensical ID.  I'm just going to remove the
device number from the adap.name.  That matches what i2c-s3c2410.c
does.  As far as I can tell the adap.name isn't actually used for
much.

* The name was being used in request_irq().  I've changed this to be
like i2c-s3c2410 and use dev_name().  On my current board that means
that the name comes from the table in of_platform_populate().  ...but
that table is supposed to be going away.  If I remove that i2c parts
of that table I get names like '12c60000.i2c', which should be fine
for passing to request_irq().
