Do we really want to try fixing the i2c-at91 driver at all? David
Brownell and Aras Vaichas seem to believe that there is no way that it
can be made completely reliable due to hardware issues, and that using
the generic i2c-gpio driver is the way to go on these systems.

Either way, I am not skilled to review this i2c-at91 patch, so in order
to get it upstream (if we still want to do that) someone else will have
to do the review.
