No, the id for i2c-gpio nodes (any DT node without 'reg') will be -1 
which means dynamically assigned.

The key difference is the numbering is defined by the BPMP firmware.

No. The spec is not the last word on what's allowed or not. Lots of 
patterns exist already which we can't change, but that doesn't mean they 
should be copied by new users.
