Make sure you have File Systems > /proc file system support enabled
(CONFIG_PROC_FS). In theory i2c-proc should depend on it (in Config.in),
but now it looks like it doesn't...

Another possibility is a problem with symbol versioning, which you seem
to have enabled. It should work, but maybe you could try without
versioning, just in case.

Hope that helps,
