There are "port" drivers that do this. An I2C adapter is assigned to
each port via device-tree or platform data struct.

Port driver code if you are interested:
-
https://github.com/ev3dev/lego-linux-drivers/blob/master/ev3/legoev3_ports_in.c
-
https://github.com/ev3dev/lego-linux-drivers/blob/master/evb/evb_ports_in.c

In particular, here is where we call the new i2c_adapter_probe()
function:
