Yeah, it feels rightfully outdated IMO. Bringing such policy into the
kernel is frowned upon. I think the proper way is a udev rule to act on
the newly created I2C adapter. This even could provide a really stable
symlink for userspace to consume. The above scheme is only stable per
"block" but inside the block, there is still randomness. Or?
