Can we foresee that other platforms will have similar mechanisms in the
future?

This select is already covered by I2C_DESIGNWARE_PLATFORM.

That shouldn't be the user's task to ensure. Please enforce this in the
makefile. Check Documentation/kbuid/makefiles.txt, Section 3.3.

Mika, can you have a look at the ACPI part here?

Look closely. There is a difference to the entries above.

i2c_dw_test_ownership_support()?

That doesn't scale in case other platformts will need this. I could
imagine a struct i2c_dw_ownership_ops() (or whatever name) which gets
populated according to the matched device.
