That partly comes to late for me. I digged around (run from one trouble to next 
with Vivado) but finally come to a simular but not same conclusion. In fact, 
bitstream doesn't contain pinmux, but FSBL. At least after changing just FSBL 
i2c doesn't work at all (with old cadence i2c-kernel/devicetree). So 
kernel/devicetree alone might not be enough (kernel 4.14)
I changed kernel for using bitbang instead of cadence i2c driver. But with 
devicetree I failed. I didn't get a clue how it works in detail and compiler is 
not very helpful with debug messages. Especially this mixture of zynq-7000.dtsi 
and dts.
I finally end up with decompiling my previous devicetree, fiddling your miami 
devicetree to kernel, run dtbs and decompiled the dtb.
So I have 2 simplier decompiled devicetrees for a better side by side 
comparison.
With adding i2c stuff I get at least something compilable again (see attached), 
but kernel gives me

i2c /dev entries driver
cdns-wdt f8005000.watchdog: Xilinx Watchdog Timer at df8f6000 with timeout 10s
....
i2c-gpio gpios-i2c@22: could not find pctldev for node 
/amba/slcr@f8000000/pinctrl@700/i2c0-default, deferring probe
i2c-gpio gpios-i2c@28: could not find pctldev for node 
/amba/slcr@f8000000/pinctrl@700/i2c1-default, deferring probe

So I have I2C0 with GPIO22,23 and I2C1 with 28,29.

(Without the last i2c entries in dts I don't get this messages, but in neither 
of the options an entry /dev/i2c-0,1 is created).
What is wrong/missed?

A nice weekend,
Arno
