Let me put this to my TODO list. But it is not a task which you know
will be done in some hours. It requires to study the whole logic if this
works for all cases.

This approach is used in the linux kernel that's why there is no way to
get rid of dev_read_alias_highest_id() as function.
It means only i2c_uclass_init() and little code in i2c_post_bind() could
be removed. That's why I don't think we will improve size a lot.
If this is copied to other subsystems then yes it will be more useful.
If we have just one now we can't save a lot.

Heiko: Can you please take a look at this series? I have another 7
patches on the top of this series which depends on it which cleanup all
zynq/zynqmp platforms and I would like to close this to be able to move.

Thanks,
Michal
