Put a printk in it's init function to make sure it is initializing.

Next thing I do is put printks over in arch/powerpc/.. to tell me
which strings from the device tree are being looked for.

You can also look in /proc/device_tree and make sure fsl-i2c is in there.

When you find the problem is will probably be something simple like a
mismatch between _ and -. I have been down this path before and spent
a day figuring out why a module wouldn't load and it was a simple
typo.
