I2C probe not happening

I'm using DENX-2.6.26, and I've enabled the I2C_IBM_IIC on a Sequoia board,
but I don't see any probes happening.

It looks like of_register_i2c_devices is never being called.  According to
cscope, it would be called in i2c-ibm_of.c, but that file is not part of
the build.

i2c-ibm_of.c would be compiled if CONFIG_I2C_IBM_OF was selected, but there
is no place in the Kconfig files that I2C_IBM_OF is mentioned.  So, I added
it like so:

diff --git a/drivers/i2c/busses/Kconfig b/drivers/i2c/busses/Kconfig
index e9f88fe..a221b15 100644
--- a/drivers/i2c/busses/Kconfig

Also, I noticed that i2c-ibm_of.c doesn't have an entry for the 440EPx, so
I added one:

 	{ .compatible = "ibm,iic-440gp", },
 	{ .compatible = "ibm,iic-440gpx", },
 	{ .compatible = "ibm,iic-440grx", },

However, the file does not compile.  I get:

linux-2.6-denx/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-ibm_of.c:702: 
error: 'struct i2c_board_info' has no member named 'driver_name'
make[4]: *** [drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-ibm_of.o] Error 1

So perhaps it should not be part of the build.  But in that case, I see
no way for the probes to run.

I must be missing something - hints gratefully accepted.
