No major changes has been done to the tpa driver during the past years... I
wanted to do some updates, like moving it to regmap, but as you said, n900 is
the only user (and n9) and I do not feel comfortable to hack on a device where
I do not have serial console... And I'm using the n900 time to time also.

What would happen with the SCL stuck on i2c.2 bus if you remove the tpa driver
from the kernel? If you remove the other drivers for the devices on i2c.2?
