Both the bus controller and devices are dynamically hotplugged I had scenario 1 in mind, but with more than 1 bus controller (say 2x i2c_eg20t). How can you set a fixed numbering if there are more controllers, each with maybe more than 1 bus? Anyway, how can you provide a static bus numbering if there are more than one driver or more than one device per driver if the devices are hotplugable?
