i2c_get_id_from_dt()?

-ESOMETHING?

Simply 'return of_alias_get_id(...)'? Even more, since this function
boils down to calling of_alias_get_id only and is only used once, I'd
think we can implement that directly and drop this function. That
shouldn't hurt readability.

All other internal functions are prefixed with '__'.

Is that a reason to halt the kernel? WARN and bailing out would do IMO.

Note the idr-cleanup series from Tejun Heo. Given that his series is
scheduled for v3.9, I'd like to have your patches on top of his.
