As of 2.6.26-rc1 (and I believe Josh's for-2.6.26 tree?) the ibm iic
driver is available as an of_platform driver. So you need a very recent
kernel.

However, the patches should be available in the linuxppc-dev archives if
you search for them.

Look at platforms/44x/warp.c for an example of how to initialize the
driver for the 440EP.

Cheers,
