We may want to hold off on this until arch/ppc goes away (or at least 
all users of this driver in arch/ppc).

dtc supports the "mpc5200b-i2c", "mpc5200-i2c", "fsl-i2c" syntax.

What is cell-index for?

As Matt pointed out, this is redundant.

This isn't really necessary.

If you mean legacy-style client drivers, why not?

Can we please put this in common code instead?

At the very least, include the entries that are already being used with 
this driver in fsl_soc.c.

This was proposed and rejected a while ago.  For one thing, some drivers 
handle multiple chips, and we shouldn't base device tree bindings on 
what groupings Linux happens to make in what driver supports what.

That would be ideal; it just hasn't been done yet.

A middle ground for now would be to keep one table in drivers/of or 
something.

Nah, only one for every i2c device Linux supports. :-)

This is obviously not based on head-of-tree -- there are several more 
entries in this table.

Should be linux/of_platform.h

This is a separate change from the OF-ization -- at least note it in the 
changelog.

Should be KERN_DEBUG, if it stays at all.

Most of this code should be made generic and placed in drivers/of.

We might as well just use i2c_new_device() instead of messing around 
with bus numbers.  Note that this is technically no longer platform 
code, so it's harder to justify claiming the static numberspace.

Use of_iomap().

if (i2c->irq != NO_IRQ)

Let's take this opportunity to stop matching on device_type here 
(including updating booting-without-of.txt).

Do we still need .name if we have .driver.name?

This should be a separate patch.
