Alternatively, if you want to upstream this dependency already you can send the
following patches:

  - this acpi::DeviceId abstraction
  - the glue code for the generic adapter trait in rust/kernel/driver.rs
  - use this glue code in the platform abstraction
  - add acpi support to the platform sample driver

This way we can already validate that the code works correctly. All this is
required anyways if the I2C device you write a driver for is on the platform
bus.
