So, if no pdata is provided, we go on to allocate some ...

Then you just override that pointer with a pointer to the local config.

This in it's entirety does not look sound. I *think* this is what you
want to do,
replace all of the above codde (including the last if (!pdata) clause) with:

if (!pdata) {
    /* If no platform data passed in, use the default configuration as
a base. */
    pdata = &u8500_i2c;
    if (np)
        /* Further, if we have a DT node, override the default with this */
        nmk_i2c_of_probe(np, pdata);
}

This makes any passed pdata take precedence, else default pdata
complemented with DT info. Which is what we want.
