Probably, yes. I think the solution would be to adjust gpio_get_num() so
that it takes a device_node as argument instead of a device.

I may be wrong here. In the kernel of_find_device_by_node() works only
for platform_devices, but since you do for_each_device(), it should work
for i2c devices in barebox aswell.
