Interesting.  Ok - I found the problem with the driver you *did* find:

diff --git a/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-ibm_iic.c b/drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-ibm_iic.c

However, while the i2c-ibm_of.c driver works with the sequoia .dts,
i2c-ibm_iic.c does not, because it is looking for an "index" property,
which is not in the .dts file.  I added one:

diff --git a/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/sequoia.dts b/arch/powerpc/boot/dts/sequoia.dts

However, something is still not right.  Using the mystery i2c-ibm_of.c
driver, I get:

i2c /dev entries driver
IBM IIC driver v2.1
m41t80_probe called
rtc-m41t80 0-0068: chip found, driver version 0.05
rtc-m41t80 0-0068: rtc core: registered m41t80 as rtc0

ibm-iic(/plb/opb/i2c at ef600800): using standard (100 kHz) mode

But with the i2c-ibm_iic.c driver, I get:

i2c /dev entries driver
ibm-iic 1ef600700.i2c: using standard (100 kHz) mode
ibm-iic 1ef600800.i2c: using standard (100 kHz) mode

I.e. it doesn't find the rtc (which I added to my sequoia board).
