I'd be glad to use a macro or some helper here, but alas there is no
ready-to-use i2c-related one in the dtc code. See, there are hard-coded
literals in the PCI nodes checkers (check_pci_device_reg(),
check_pci_device_bus_num()) and the hard-coded literals've been in the
i2c-nodes checkers even before this patch.

I guess importing header would be much better than the hard-coded values
currently used. What do the code maintainers say about that? Any idea how it
is supposed to be implemented?
