i2c-eg20t: regression since i2c_add_numbered_adapter change

Hello,

I just noticed the 3.4 linux kernel fails to sucessfully probe the i2c-eg20t
driver. I returns with EBUSY error. It worked on the 3.0 kernel. To my view it
is caused the commit 07e8a51ff68353e01d795cceafbac9f54c49132b ( i2c-eg20t: use
i2c_add_numbered_adapter to get a fixed bus number).
The reason it actually fails is that the i2c-isch driver is registered
beforehand which gets bus number 0. But this one is the bus number the eg20t
driver wants to register.
A possibility is that if i2c_add_numbered_adapter failed with EBUSY just use
i2c_add_adapter to get at least the driver working, but with a non-fixed bus
number. Opinions?

Best regards,
Alexander
