I'd like some way of distinguishing between the two busses by name. It
seems sensible to name them 0 and 1 since that's how they are referred
to on schematics.

In the chromeos_laptop driver, I do by-name matching of i2c busses to
find busses and instantiate devices, so there is value to have each
named something predictable.
