Thanks for testing!

Yes.

Unfortunately that's more difficult to support, as the code references
i2c_bus_type and i2c_adapter_type.

i2c_bus_type is needed to register the notifier.
i2c_adapter_type is needed to distinguish between i2c adapters and clients,
as the notifier is called for both with action BUS_NOTIFY_ADD_DEVICE.

regulator_quirk_nb and regulator_quirk_notify reference each other.
But regulator_quirk_notify() can probably just use the passed
struct notifier_block pointer. Will fix.

Thanks!
