I agree it's better placed with i2c.h. It's also possible to come up with
a more syntax more variadic function like, which can be called like this:
i2c_new_probed_device(adapter, &info, addr1);
i2c_new_probed_device(adapter, &info, addr1, addr2);
Using a macro like this...
#define i2c_new_probed_device(adap,info,addr,addrs...) ({ \
const unsigned short _addrs[] = {addr, ## addrs, I2C_CLIENT_END }; \
_i2c_new_probed_device(adap, info, _addrs); })
