Hi Philip,
I ran into this as well, and since I didn't want to mask the kernel header (which is a different file), I decided to rename the file from i2c-tools.  Don't know if this would work for anyone else, but this is the workaround I added to i2c-tools_3.0.2.bb:

do_stage2() {
    install -d ${STAGING_INCDIR}/linux
    install -m 0644 include/linux/i2c-dev.h ${STAGING_INCDIR}/linux/i2c-dev-user.h
}
addtask stage2 after do_package before do_populate_staging

do_install_append() {
    install -d ${D}${includedir}/linux
    install -m 0644 include/linux/i2c-dev.h ${D}${includedir}/linux/i2c-dev-user.h
    rm -f ${D}${includedir}/linux/i2c-dev.h
}
