Scot,

Is your intention with this patch to replace the one that Mika wrote
that specifically special cased the designware i2c busses? He already
solved this problem in this patch.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/4288591/

I'm not sure about your approach here. It looks like if there's some
ambiguity in the names of the busses, you try to probe the device on
every bus with that name.

We know that bus 0 is going to have the touchpad, and we know that bus
1 is going to have the touchscreen and light sensor. I'd prefer not to
send extra probes for all of the combination of devices that don't
exist.
