Olof,
Tested your multi_v7_defconfig patch on top of latest linux-next (20140731).
I did not see any aforementioned i2c issues on 5250 based Snow board. It
booted fine. However on 5250 based Arndale board, the boot stops at
the following:

[ 1.951863] ehci_hcd: USB 2.0 'Enhanced' Host Controller (EHCI) Driver
[ 1.956937] ehci-pci: EHCI PCI platform driver
[ 1.961392] ehci-exynos: EHCI EXYNOS driver
[ 1.965698] exynos-ehci 12110000.usb: EHCI Host Controller
[ 1.971007] exynos-ehci 12110000.usb: new USB bus registered,
assigned bus number 1
[ 1.981593] exynos-ehci 12110000.usb: can't setup: -110
[ 1.985361] exynos-ehci 12110000.usb: USB bus 1 deregistered
[ 1.991001] exynos-ehci 12110000.usb: Failed to add USB HCD
[ 1.996569] exynos-ehci: probe of 12110000.usb failed with error -110
[ 2.003041] ohci_hcd: USB 1.1 'Open' Host Controller (OHCI) Driver
[ 2.009149] ohci-exynos: OHCI EXYNOS driver
[ 2.013457] exynos-ohci 12120000.usb: USB Host Controller
[ 2.018702] exynos-ohci 12120000.usb: new USB bus registered,
assigned bus number 1

Boots well with exynos_defconfig though. Probably some conflict with
other config options?
I couldn't find out as I am busy with some other activity.
