I think assignments like this are illegal. At this point the device is
already registered and modifying pdev->id can cause issues at the core
code.

It might be better to have the bus number stored in struct pxa_i2c,
initialized with pdev->id value for non-dt and now with -1 for dt case.

I realize it is not something your patch is intended to deal with,
but since you're touching this code maybe it's worth to fix that issue
as well ?
