You keep referring to Michael's patch, while this patch was never
merged, for a reason.

Please let's start all over again. Michael's patch does not exist.
Trying to inject pieces of the new binding model into the old one will
never work, both models are simply too different.

What functional problem are you trying to solve? What's your platform,
what's your I2C bus, what's your I2C device, and which drivers are you
using?
