This would be much easier to review if you would split this change into
two patches, one moving the per-adapter settings out of the global
scope, and one adding support for the second base address.

Furthermore, the use of container_of seems inappropriate here, as there
is a proper interface for per-adapter attributes: i2c_set_adapdata() and
i2c_get_adapdata().
