No-no :) take a look on i2c-omap.c

r = i2c_add_numbered_adapter(adap);

^^^^ here you see messages from tpa6130a2 (create i2c devices & probe if drivers are ready)

if (r) {
dev_err(omap->dev, "failure adding adapter\n");
goto err_unuse_clocks;
}

dev_info(omap->dev, "bus %d rev%d.%d at %d kHz\n", adap->nr,
major, minor, omap->speed);

^^^^ and here "omap_i2c 48072000.i2c: bus 2 rev3.3 at 100 kHz"

so everything is ok with probe order
