Err, I'm confused. We _already_ have an "i2c" bus type, and we already
assign dev.bus = &i2c_bus_type, but for i2c devices (or slaves if you
prefer), not adapters (masters). Doing the same for adapters (the
parents) and devices (the children) looks totally wrong to me.

Are you really certain that i2c-adapters should be bus devices rather
than class devices?
