This, I suppose, is for the i2c client driver.
I meant the individual adapter drivers.
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-tegra.c#L1786
similar is there in all drivers.
If to use adapter->dev for interrupt-names, I assume, it would require to add

	adapter->dev.fwnode = i2c_dev->dev->fwnode;

in all drivers (or at least in the drivers which does not use devicetree).
I thought it would be decent to use adapter->dev.parent as all the drivers already
set it.

Got it :)
