I agree on the eyesore. I had an earlier version using "if (IS_BUILTIN(CONFIG_I2C))"
checks that was much nicer, but it didn't work because all the declarations
in include/linux/i2c.h are hidden behind an #ifdef.

I thought about sending a patch for that file too, but I think it has come up
before and was nacked then.
