It looks to me that the subsys-init is a relict of the past and it should be fine to move I2C driver registration into the module-init level, of course it's not strictly necessary and could be done later on if desired.

>>> Since your previous feedback suggest "let's postpone channels requesting and dma_buf allocation until they are really needed", I thought it make sense to not request channels and allocate till DMA is needed.

Managed to apply patches this time, was my bad. Please take a look and reply to the rest of my comments before sending a new version, thanks.
