Re: [PATCH] i2c: powermac: don't workaround for keywest

[Dan DeVoto <dand1972@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

Sorry for the delay, I found this message in my spam folder.  Anyway,
for my machine model, cat /proc/device-tree/compatible returns:

PowerBook4,3MacRISC2MacRISCPower Macintosh

It's a 14 in. iBook G3 700 MHz.

Regards,

Dan
