Another way to approach this is by implementing this flag as a quirk for 
the added adapter:

This works, however this only supports device-tree because of 
of_find_i2c_device_by_node. If we want to support acpi then we can either:


1. Get the Mule i2c device address from fwnode_get_next_parent_dev but 
this is static since v6.9-rcx.

2. Pass the Mule i2c device address as a new member of  struct 
i2c_adapter_quirks.


I would go for 2. Do you suggest something else?

Best regards
