I still have no idea how to move the i2c0 label.

@Rob: An idea was to declare the i2c at 0 node that the patch above
introduces should become the new &i2c0 as e.g. an overlay that adds an
i2c device should add it there now instead of the original bus. Is this
possible? And a good idea?

Apart from not knowing if this is possible at all, in the meantime I
doubt this to be a good idea. I think this adds to much confusion because
it complicates (human and machine) parsing of the device tree. If i2c0
is referenced before the move it should certainly continue to point to
/soc/i2c at 7e205000, so usage of i2c0 depends on ordering.

Ah, indeed. Will change to "as the vendor dts does".

Best regards
