And one more reason, why your function will not work from flash:

later in your i2c_set_bus_num function:
[...]
        if ((i2c_bus[i2c_cur_bus].next_hop[0].chip != 0) &&
                        (ADAP(i2c_cur_bus)->init_done != 0)) {

You only switch muxes if init_done != 0 ... but init_done is
not writeable when running from flash, so it is "= 0" when
code is not relocated ... how work this for you?

But this can be solved, if we always init the hardwareadapter
when switching to it and running from flash ... and if we are
relocated, we can analyse this flag, if init_done = 0, we init
this hardware adapter ...

My proposal for the i2c_set_bus_num(unsigned int bus) function:

int i2c_set_bus_num(unsigned int bus)
{
#ifndef CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
	int		i;
	u_int8_t	buf;
#endif

	if (bus >= CONFIG_SYS_NUM_I2C_BUSSES)
		return(-1);

#ifndef CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
	/* Disconnect current bus (turn off muxes if any) */
	if ((i2c_bus[i2c_cur_bus].next_hop[0].chip != 0) &&
			(ADAP(i2c_cur_bus)->init_done != 0)) {

		i = CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS;

		do {
			u_int8_t	chip;
			
			if ((chip = i2c_bus[i2c_cur_bus].next_hop[--i].chip) == 0)
				continue;

			ADAP(i2c_cur_bus)->write(chip, 0, 0, &buf, 1);

		} while (i > 0);
	}
#endif

	cur_adap_nr = (i2c_adap_t *)&ADAP(bus);
	if (ADAP(bus)->init_done == 0) {
		i2c_init_bus(bus, ADAP(bus)->speed, ADAP(bus)->slaveaddr);
	}

#ifndef CONFIG_SYS_I2C_DIRECT_BUS
	/* Connect requested bus if behind muxes */
	if (i2c_bus[bus].next_hop[0].chip != 0) {

		/* Set all muxes along the path to that bus */
		for (i = 0; i < CONFIG_SYS_I2C_MAX_HOPS; i++) {

			if (i2c_bus[bus].next_hop[i].chip == 0) break;

			i2c_mux_set(i2c_bus[bus].adapter,
					i2c_bus[bus].next_hop[i].mux.id,
					i2c_bus[bus].next_hop[i].chip,
					i2c_bus[bus].next_hop[i].channel);
		}
	}
#endif

	i2c_cur_bus = bus;
	return(0);
}

This function should also work, when running from flash. + a hardware adapter
is only initialized when we switch to it, so no need to initialize all
hardwareadapters somewhere ...
(requirement: cur_adap_nr, i2c_cur_bus is writeable when running in flash)
