I2C is usually available earlier, as it is used to read the SPD on 
memory modules.

When I last did it, I had to change U-Boot slightly to support a second 
I2C bus, as the bus selection variable was located in flash before 
relocation (very old version of U-Boot, so may not apply still).

I've only had a problem using I2C very early in the boot sequence, like 
before the system clocks have been setup, then the solution to that was 
to just use a GPIO strapping instead for clock selection.
