This really doesn't matter. With the new binding model, probing is
under control. You can do probing on some cards and not others, and you
can probe some addresses and not others. And one i2c drivers can
cleanly support more than one device type.
What should be considered to decide whether two devices should be
supported by the same driver or not, is how much their supporting code
has in common.
