Thinking about it now, I'd only ever used i2cget etc. to access I2C devices, rather than instantiating drivers from DT. That all said, I wonder if the I2C core shouldn't do something like the following inside i2c_add_adapter(): if (!adap->dev.of_node && adap->dev.parent) adap->dev.of_node = adap->dev.parent->of_node; That would save every single I2C driver from having to set up this field manually.
