As you said when you submitted the patch:
  Here's an updated patch.  Evidently one of the AT91 patches you
  sent to Russell (but which hasn't yet merged to kernel.org) has
  changed I2C init, so this needs some tweaking that I can't sort
  yet ... Russell suggested you handle the next steps here.

I was waiting for the AT91 patches to be merged to mainline first.

Unfortunately there seems to be a new rule (or enforcement of an old
rule) where patches need to be merged into the subsystem maintainers
tree before the mainline merge window opens.

So the AT91 patches are still here:
http://ftp.arm.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/kernel/git-cur/arm:devel.diff
and I think they are unlikely to be merged before 2.6.24 is released.
