This is (a part of) the log when tpa6130a2 fails to initialize:

Jan  1 08:03:07 Nokia-N900 kernel: [    1.928344] twl 1-0048: PIH (irq 23) chaining IRQs 340..348

Now, it is either tpa6130a2 probe() is called before i2c-2 is
initialized or i2c driver first probes devices on the bus and only then
logs successful probe ("omap_i2c 48072000.i2c: bus 2 rev3.3 at 100 kHz")
in our case.

I'll try that, thanks.
