Well, I figured out the problem!   :)

It seems that conf/files has the following lines

        306:include "dev/i2c/files.i2c"
        ...
        816:device  lm: sysmon_envsys
        817:file    dev/ic/nslm7x.c                 lm       needs-flag

So, files.i2c attempts to define the lm device's iic attachment before
the lm device itself is defined.

I don't know what is the correct solution to this problem.  I am rather 
reluctant to rearrange things in conf/files for fear of breaking too 
many other things, on too many other ports which I'm not able to test!
