Oh, OK, I understand now.

The reason is that I had no time to backport the i2c-2.8.1 patch to
2.4.21. And I'd expect people compiling kernels by themselves to use the
latest stable sources available, that is, 2.4.22 for now. This is the
reason why I did not feel like wasting my time packporting the patch.

That said, the backport would be rather easy (it's just a matter of
repackaging all the correct files in one convenient patch), so I might
consider doing it if it might help people like you.
