Ah, excellent, so a small quirk in i2c_powermac is the way to go then,
we can detect it by name and hack up something. Either that or even
better, in prom_init, we could add the missing property to the
device-tree.

Any chance you can try that ? (Look at other examples of DT fixups in
prom_init.c and don't forget the RELOC() around strings :-)

Cheers,
Ben.
