Yes, thats the plan, but first, all i2c driver must be converted to
the new framework. After that we could start with such an approach
(or device model is ready and we can switch to it ...)

Yes ...

If we have all i2c driver running with the new framework, we can get
rid of I2C_SET_BUS defines, and simply use i2c_set_bus_num() which
is a simple cleanup patch.
