i2c_core doesn't pull in i2c_mpc (the MPC107/85xx i2c driver)!

root@fox_1:/lib/modules/2.6.24-rc3-ge1cca7e8/kernel/drivers/rtc$ modprobe i2c-mpc

rtc_lib                 3456  2 rtc_ds1307,rtc_core

it's still unused.
Doing it the other way around:

I guess I'll have to dig in the code now since this is a
100% road block for my project. :-(

Does it make sense to pickup some I2C people here?
Same story, next week... Have a nice weekend.

If you come up with some idea / patches, still let me know,
I'll be able to login remotely.

Thank you,
Regards,

Clemens Koller
