I think we can move the majority of this patch into the I2C core and
export just the one prober function. The remainder and the other SKU
ID based prober could be moved to drivers/platform/chrome.
Not sure how we want to place probers for other platforms though?

I wanted to distinguish between explicitly disabled, i.e. components
known to not exist on some specific variant, vs fail or components
that need probing. I suppose this is overengineered since the previous
of_node_name_prefix() already restricts the check to the class of
components we are interested in.

I will look into it.

Ack. However I don't really like the API, as there is no easy way to free
the allocated property if of_changeset_apply fails and we want to clean up.

OK. How about drivers/platform/chrome/ for the non-generic bits and the other
prober patch?

Ack.
