If we really want to get rid of the index, I like the alias method. I
mainly write drivers, so I don't know register addresses. I just read
the spec and it says device A is on i2c bus 2. That is why I went with
the index. Calling get_i2c_apapter(2) makes sense.

However, calling get_i2c_adapter("IIC2"), just as a made up example,
makes just as much sense.

Cheers,
   Sean
