But this is realized for the bitbang driver, and actual only manufacturer
(keymile) specific. So, if we can use the I2C pins as GPIO, it is maybe
an option, but a fast look in the mpc5200 users manual, didn;t show me
a way for using the I2C pins as GPIO, so, we must implement a CPU
specific (as we did it for the 83xx) way.

As I understood Eric, there is only write access to the I2C pins, so
we couldn;t use "my" deblocking mechanism. As Erics way is as the
standard deblocking mechanism in the bitbang driver, I think, it is
okay.
