I2C support for 405GP

I2C support for 405GP

[Matthias Fuchs]

Hello,

is anybody working on the I2C driver for the IBM 405GP ?
The driver was in the 2.4.2 Kernel from Montavista, but it dissapeared
from the devel tree a long time ago. I tried to take that old sources
and merged the i2c stuff into a more recent 2.4 devel kernel. It did not work.

This leads to some questions:

1) Is anybody currently workig on this issue ?
2) Does anybody have a local working i2c driver for the 405 ?
3) Is there a special reason why the i2c support dissapeared ?

I read sometime ago on the i2c project site, that they care about the 405
i2c driver. Is this true ?

Matthias

Yes I do.
1 & 2) yes
3) The I2c drivers are warehoused by the i2c folks.  If you need it ou
can check it out from there.  I am working on coverting the driver to
the ocp format.
