Subject[PATCH v1 1/2] dt-bindings: i2c: add "dev-name" property to assign specific device name
From
I2C devices currently are named dynamically using
<adapter_id>-<device_address> convention, unless they are instantiated
through ACPI.

This means the device name may vary for the same device across different
systems, infact even on the same system if the I2C bus enumeration order
changes, i.e. because of device tree modifications.

By adding an optional "dev-name" property, it provides a mechanism to
set consistent and easy to recognize names for I2C devices.

Binding may contain optional "interrupts" property, describing interrupts
used by the device. I2C core will assign "irq" interrupt (or the very first
interrupt if not using interrupt names) as primary interrupt for the slave.
