Since these are board specific drivers they know which I2C controller they are hooked up to and so can usefully depend on a specific controller - without the correct controller driver they will not function.
I don't really mind one way or the other. Having it depend on the controller is fine, but it's not really much of a stretch to expect it to show up on other boards with other controllers as well.
This is the driver for the board itself and its wiring - it's not a chip driver, it's the driver that says how the chips on a given board are connected. For new boards I'd expect you'd end up with a new driver.
