i2c-algo-bit is a software thing only. You need an I2C bus driver to
bind it to the physical EEDAT & EECLK lines. I seem to remember a
driver named i2c-ep93xx, except that it is not in mainline. I found
this:
https://dev.contec.at/dev/micro/micro9/LINUX/trunk/kernel/linux-2.6/patches/ep93xx-i2c-bus.diff
But I don't know how up-to-date it is. You may want to contact Lennert
Buytenhek for a status update.
