Did you test mlx5 device on such system? Did it work for you?

What is the changelog between v0 and v1 of these patches?

Yes, I did. With PCI config set to disable mlx5 drivers are not built. 
Only the following: 
/build/drivers/net/Ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/mlxsw_core.ko
/build/drivers/net/Ethernet/mellanox /mlxsw/mlxsw_i2c.ko
/build/drivers/net/Ethernet/mellanox /mlxsw/mlxsw_minimal.ko

While with both options on all drivers are built inc mlx5.

No changelog, I've started with v1.

I'm not so sure he's interested if things build or not.

He's asking you if you actually used a Mellanox device with this
driver with PCI disabled and only I2C available.

Thanks David, you are absolutely right.

The commit message and more important, Kconfig entry, is misleading the potential
users by promising them that all devices under drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox
folder are working with i2c.

I have no technical objection to the idea of this patch, but it needs to be resubmitted after
Ohad ensures that mlx4/mlx5 are not visible in menuconfig for i2c
systems and he fixes Kconfig description together with commit log.

Thanks

$ git grep i2c_add_driver drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlxsw/i2c.c:      return i2c_add_driver(i2c_driver);

That is the only driver that would probe on i2c, non-pci system.
mlx5 just would not probe, so there is nothing to test.
