I am no longer working for Panasonic.
The old email address will get unavailable at the end of March.

Going forward, please use my new address, yamada.masahiro at socionext.com

Very nice!

This description is not specific to this CONFIG option.

The relation between the aliases node and the sequence number
is well-documented in doc/driver-model/README.txt.

Should we repeat it here?

This is binding information, right?

Stuff like that is usually documented in a separate text file.

In Linux, Documentation/devicetree/bindings/i2c/
In U-boot, doc/device-tree-bindings/i2c/

This is the usage of "i2c" command.
It is not specific to this option, either.
