Indeed no, my intension is to say that relocation is requested. Do you
mean that it should then not use a compatible ?

Relocation is the same for I2C.

It is also possible to relocate SMC1 and SMC2 parameter RAM but only
with a micropatch.
Today, the kernel only implements relocation of SMC1, and it relocates
it at a fixed address just after SMC2 at offset 0x1FC0.
