ic2-bit-banging-nouveau-git-bisect.log

When resuming from suspend on affected kernels the lack of fan pwm control
causes the GPU fan to run at 100%. This is noisy, annoying and inefficient.

After performing a git bisect (attached), I've determined the commit that broke
pwm fan control functionality for all kernels 3.3.x+ with adt7475 controller
(nv50 GPU in my case):

commit f553b79c03f0dbd52f6f03abe8233a2bef8cbd0d

drm/nouveau/i2c: handle bit-banging ourselves

Along with the many kernels I built and tested during bisection, I've also
verified this broke sensors detecting on mainline builds of 3.3.8, 3.4.29,
3.7.3 and the current Nouveau git master.

I can verify proper PWM fan control/i2c enumeration on kernel 3.2.35 and
3.2.38. I've not tested earlier kernels than the 3.2 series, but git bisection
went back to 3.2-rc1 and was working there.

I'm happy to provide any further testing to help expedite getting this patched
for stable kernels. I'm particularly interested in the 3.4.x LTS series which
is what led me to discover this issue on my system after I strayed from the
happy confines of the Debian 3.2.x LTS series kernel.
