No, I mean that drivers/phy/exynos5250_phy_i2c.c should do

	i2c_add_driver(&sataphy_i2c_driver)

instead of drivers/phy/sata_phy_exynos5250.c.

i.e.:

...
static int exynos_sata_i2c_probe(struct i2c_client *client,
				const struct i2c_device_id *i2c_id)
{
	return 0;
}
...
static struct i2c_driver sataphy_i2c_driver = {
...
};
...
static int __init exynos5250_phy_i2c_init(void)
{
	return i2c_add_driver(&sataphy_i2c_driver);
}
...
module_init(exynos5250_phy_i2c_init);
...

BTW For consistency with the new naming it would be good to rename
exynos5250_phy_i2c.c to phy-exynos5250-sata-i2c.c.

Could you please explain more what the problem is?  What is the new
code exacly and what is the difference in the kernel logs?
