[PATCH] fix i2c on PPC linkstation / kurobox machines

i2c is broken on linkstation / kurobox machines since at least 2.6.27. Fix 
it. Also remove CONFIG_SERIAL_OF_PLATFORM, which, if enabled, breaks the 
serial console after the "console handover: boot [udbg0] -> real [ttyS1]" 
message.

No, I do not really understand why I have to remove 
CONFIG_SERIAL_OF_PLATFORM now after adding a call to 
of_platform_bus_probe(), but it works this way. It must have something to 
do with the legacy serial driver... If accepted in this form, I'll also 
forward it to stable.
