i2c && 8xx combo never work with 2.6 at least in mainstream. That's why

This could all be done with an of_platform driver instead, and avoid
the above.
(Someone else already suggested that I believe).
I know i know. But it was decided, while both ppc/ and powerpc/ wander
around, platform devices way is preferrable.
The idea is to avoid regressions in arch/ppc; maintaining feature parity
isn't necessary. If, as you say above, 8xx i2c was already broken in
2.6 (even in arch/ppc), then I see no reason not to go to an of_device
right away.
It is apparent why - so far only mpc885 is alive in arch/powerpc, and it
is not going to change soon for 8xx.
Actually, I plan to do some arch/powerpc 8xx work over the next couple
months, so hopefully it will change soon. :-)
