Hello,

Automated driver test system bisected this commit to be the first bad 
commit, linux-next next-20260227 was tested. Failed tests include driver 
tests for ROHM PMIC and accelerometers, which are connected to 
BeagleBone Black.

The failed driver tests all fail to first i2cget and the tests stop 
there: "Could not open file '/dev/i2c-2' or 'dev/i2c/2': No such file or 
directory".
