The old driver has two main deficencies:
i)  No repeated start (Sr) condiction is possible, this makes it unusable
    e.g. for most SMBus transfers.
ii) I/O was done with polling/busy waiting what caused over-/underruns
    even at light system loads and clock speeds.

The new driver overcomes these deficencies and in addition allows for
more than one TWI interface.

A remaining limitation is the fact, that only one repeated start is
possible (two concatenated messages). This limitation is imposed by
the hardware. However, this should not be a problem as all common
i2c-client communication does not rely on more than one repeated start.

v8: Patch 6/7: remove local include
    Patch 7/7: remove cpu_is_rm9200() and put twi hw bug info
               in platform_device
    Patch 3/7: use readl/writel_relaxed instead of __raw_readl/writel
v7: Patch 4/5: i)  fix bug if internal address > 1 byte
               ii) send stop when len == 1
                   (both reported by Carsten Behling)
v6: Patch 5/5: support for I2C_SMBUS_BLOCK_DATA transfers.
    Better use of clk_(un)prepare().
    More sensible transfer timeout.
v5: Another round of review comments from Ryan Mallon, Felipe Balbi
    and Russell King: convert twi clk to use .dev_id, cleanups
v4: Integrated more review comments from Ryan Mallon and Felipe Balbi:
    Moved register include file to local include, code cleanups
v3: Integrated review comments from Ryan Mallon and Felipe Balbi
v2: Fixed whitespace issue
