I may have missed something in all the threads, but my recollection
was that the request was that this should be implemented without
touching the i2c core code.  Your patch modifies the i2c core code.

My impression was that the best solution was to use the infrastructure
in place for i2c multiplexing.  ...but in your case you would only
multiplex one thing.  This was suggested by Grant Likely and seems the
cleanest...
