Yes.

It's certainly possible, but I don't really see any advantage. I'd much
rather see the pinmux set up correctly all in one go as early as possible.

Yes, I think so. Whichever I2C controllers are actually connected to
something (even bare pins on an IO connector) should be enabled by the
DT, so that they're available for use.

It sounds like for I2C-0 on the B+ should use the i2c-mux-pinctrl.c to
switch the bus between the two destinations as required, although we'd
have to confirm with Broadcom or the RPi Foundation that that would work
with this SoC.

There's certainly no reason to believe that the kernel wouldn't want to
read the HAT EEPROM. After all, it has to identify what's connected there.
