Contrary to scx200_i2c, i2c-gpio only creates a driver, it doesn't
instantiate devices. So you have to instantiate a platform device at the
board-level code. That platform device must have its name set to
"i2c-gpio", and its platform_data poiting to a properly filled struct
i2c_gpio_platform_data (as defined in <linux/i2c-gpio.h>.) As mentioned
earlier in this thread, you'll first have to convert the scx200 GPIO
code to the standard GPIO infrastructure, otherwise you won't be able
to fill the i2c_gpio_platform_data structure.
