Unfortunately, we don't have the OF node for the iic device, just the 
PMU in this case, which doesn't have very helpful properties (PCI ID +
a rather useless PCI class 0).

So I can fix it for the Flapjack-class machines, but since I have no
idea how the i2c bus attaches on other hardware, that will need to
stay as is for better or for worse (which might be OK given what you
say).
