Uhm, I think you mix up platform device use case and DT use case. In
the platform device case we define all devices by default, but that's
not how it should be for the DT case. In the case of DT then default
should most likely be "disabled". Please follow the direction of
Laurent.

Also, I mentioned this 25 times before already so once more cannot
hurt: "renesas,i2c-rcar-h2" needs to be replaced with something more
standard.
