You might be able to use the ignore= and force= parameters to the i2c
drivers to accomplish this. With ignore you can prevent a driver from
scanning an address (specify -1 as the bus to ignore that address on all
busses) and with force you can specify which bus/address to find the
specific chip.

I haven't read the code in detail yet, but if force doesn't already
override ignore, it probably should. I can't think of reason why you
would want ignore to override a force directive.

:v)
