No.  One of my gripes about sysfs - it isn't easily discoverable.

Possibly best way to find a good name is to start with the 'subsystem' link.

gta04:/# cd /sys/devices/platform/omap_i2c.2/i2c-2/2-0077
gta04:/sys/devices/platform/omap_i2c.2/i2c-2/2-0077# ls -l subsystem
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan  1 11:03 subsystem -> ../../../../../bus/i2c


so start looking in /sys/bus/i2c.  For 'bus' you need to look in a 'devices'
subdirectory.  For 'class' you don't.

gta04:/sys/devices/platform/omap_i2c.2/i2c-2/2-0077# cd /sys/bus/i2c/devices
gta04:/sys/bus/i2c/devices# ls
1-0048	1-004a	2-0041	2-0048	i2c-1  i2c-3
1-0049	1-004b	2-0045	2-0077	i2c-2

2-0077 looks likely:

gta04:/sys/bus/i2c/devices#  ls -l 2-0077
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan  1 11:05 2-0077 -> ../../../devices/platform/omap_i2c.2/i2c-2/2-0077
gta04:/sys/bus/i2c/devices#  ls -l 2-0077/.
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    0 Jan  1 11:05 driver -> ../../../../../bus/i2c/drivers/bmp085
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan  1 11:05 modalias
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan  1 11:05 name
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan  1 11:05 oversampling
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root    0 Jan  1 11:05 power
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan  1 11:05 pressure0_input
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root    0 Jan  1 11:03 subsystem -> ../../../../../bus/i2c
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan  1 11:05 temp0_input
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan  1 11:03 uevent

Yes, that is it.  so  
    /sys/bus/i2c/devices/2-0077/pressure0_input

is a canonical name (as has already been discovered).
