Ok, just reposted. I even used the original subject line and the 
description from Scott's email. I also removed the part for 
drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-mpc.c - it is a separate patch 
http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2007-May/036079.html and I hope 
it'll make it in either via ppc or via i2c tree (it was cc'ed) as well as 
http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/linuxppc-dev/2007-May/036333.html (sorry, 
Paul, for links again).

Speaking about i2c at lm-sensors.org - which way should these patches go? Is 
it the usual separation drivers/i2c goes via i2c and arch/powerpc via ppc? 
Or should I also email i2c folks to tell them not to use the original 
patch from Scott?

Thanks
Guennadi
