Ok, great!

Hmm... do you have a debugger?

No, we have now defined CONFIG_SYS_I2C and this calls

i2c_init_all() -> i2c_init_board()

and I think, on nvidia board i2c_init_board is defined. Yes, in the
i2c driver there it is ... calling process_nodes() ... so, the i2c
busses should be setup ...

Feel free to post patches.

No, i2c_init_board gets called here very early:
init_func_i2c() -> i2c_init_all():

static int init_func_i2c(void)
{
         puts("I2C:   ");
#ifdef CONFIG_SYS_I2C
         i2c_init_all();
#else
         i2c_init(CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SPEED, CONFIG_SYS_I2C_SLAVE);
#endif
         puts("ready\n");
         return (0);
}

and we have CONFIG_SYS_I2C defined (or, did you have it?)

and in drivers/i2c/i2c_core.c:
void i2c_init_all(void)
{
         i2c_init_board();
         i2c_set_bus_num(CONFIG_SYS_SPD_BUS_NUM);
         return;
}

Ah, I see, it is also called in board_init ...

No, we need i2c before relocation for example to read SPD data
from eeprom, but this is on powerpc.
puts() is working, as your log shows.

I added in the comment from i2c_init_all:
/*
  * i2c_init_all():
  *
  * not longer needed, will deleted. Actual init the SPD_BUS
  * for compatibility.
  * i2c_adap[] must be initialized beforehead with function pointers and
  * data, including speed and slaveaddr.
  */

So the question raises, do we need this on arm?
