For which board? Which architecture?

Why would you need this?

Why do you want to use CFG_HARD_I2C? Soft-I2C is much easier.

Maybe there is no hardware I2C implementation for your processor?

You only have to compare the board config files. No other changes are
needed. Again, I recommend to use soft-i2c  instead.  There  is  zero
advantages with hard-i2c, just a lot of trouble.
