This is for discussion so I didn't cc stable@vger.kernel.org yet. I was thinking would it work if we'd keep the stable name but have an another symlink in /sys/bus/i2c/devices/ that uses "x-00yz" name. However this feels ill-use of devices directory and probably causes more troubles elsewhere.
Do you foresee troubles already? I am still in favour of a symlink.
I haven't looked at this for a while but one problem was that devices/ directory belongs to private structure of struct bus_type and in order to create a symlink there it needs to done in drivers/base/bus.c: bus_add_device() which felt quite hackish to me.
