Hi,

currently, I don't see how it is possible to write generic
i2c-parent-controller-independent attachment glue in dev/fdt/,
ie. for drivers in dev/i2c. The usual way how they are written with
doesn't work as the devices in dev/i2c attach "at i2c" already.

visa@ just commited something in the direction i wish you would
continue, and that would be adding "needs-flag" to

dev/ofw/files.ofw:
3: file   dev/ofw/fdt.c                   fdt
->
3: file   dev/ofw/fdt.c                   fdt needs-flag

which would allow writing cleaner glue with less pollution, imo..

I have some examples, if this isn't totally out of the question,
of which i think most wanted might be for maxrtc(4), as many boards
come with lacking RTC/battery and maxrtc(4) is a cheap&easy fix for it.
