Nope.

go slowly on it.  Or maybe the problem is actually somewhere else
(like you hinted at).

I'll test it some more.

| $ grep . /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-*/name

/sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-0/name:gmbus disabled
/sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-10/name:GPIOE
/sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-11/name:gmbus reserveddpd

/sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-8/name:GPIOD
/sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-9/name:gmbus dpb


And the i2c registration sanity check patch didn't catch any problems.
