I read a discussion about this subject in the past but it didn't
arrive to a conclusion. What would be necessary for supporting two I2C
interfaces? Maybe an i2c command that supports changing active
interface or something similar?

What do you mean with two I2C interfaces? If you mean 2 with one
hardware interface (for example fsl_i2c.c) this is possible with
actual code. Search for i2c_set_bus_num(), i2c_get_bus_num() ...
If you need two different hardware interfaces, there
is an approach, see:
http://git.denx.de/?p=u-boot/u-boot-i2c.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/multibus_v2
I ported (hopefully all) hardware i2c drivers to this new approach,
but didn;t find the time to test this again from scratch, I just
hold it in sync with mainline, and if I find time for testing it
again and it works, I vote for including it in mainline ...
But testers are welcome :-)
bye
Heiko

Thank you this is what I meant.

Sure, count on me for that; as soon as I have finished i.mx27 i2c
driver I will integrate it in your tree and test it.

Great!
Hmm.. there is a driver/i2c/mxc_i2c.c driver for i.mx31, maybe the
i.mx27 is similiar to this? Can you check this?

Yes, I2C registers are the same in both chips. The only things that I
must change are:
- i2c clock management.
- i2c base addresses.
My current approach is trying to make this driver work for imx27/imx31
using CONFIG_MX27/CONFIG_MX31 defines.
I don't know if you have a better suggestion for this.
Thank you.

Sounds good to me. Maybe you talk with Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>
added to cc, as he is the original writer of this code.
