I think we can go forward this way. Although I didn't find an example, I
am quite sure YAML format can have exclusive properties. If not, it
should be added ;) I'll try again to get some information from people
more experienced with YAML. But we don't depend on it.

No need to. Luckily, the I2C main bindings file is still text, so it is
easy to modify. I will send a patch out in a few minutes, so you can
base your driver code on that. Converting to YAML is a completely
different step, not related to your patch here. (Sidenote: I am looking
for volunteers to do that)

I think this covers it?

Happy hacking,
