Ok, Sun uses a 2-cell scheme. We can handle both cases of reg
encoding quite easily:
1) If there is a single cell, tread bits 8 and above as bus number.
They will be zero on Sparc.
2) If there are two cells, first cell is bus number.
For the hierarchical case, I'm not so sure how to handle it.
Also, last night, I posted patches to the I2C list to add bus
addressing support to the I2C code and the PCF algo implementation.
