No problem. If you can provide the i2c-core patches and a couple driver
fixes that I can use as examples, I'll be happy to take care of the
rest of the drivers in the whole kernel tree.

Note that it might be wiser to get rid of i2c-isa first, though. I want
to do it anyway, and doing that will lower the number of i2c drivers,
and remove a special case, too.

Thanks,
