To start out with the device not getting probed at first, add a 'status="disabled"' property, which will prevent the i2c_device from getting added. At runtime you then need a way to change that from "disabled" to "ok" and retrigger the probe. I haven't done that myself, so it might need some i2c core changes to work correctly.
