Hello,

I have a 405Gpr based Board and use the I2C Bus. Today I tried the Linux
Kernel version 2.6.20-rc5, and get the following Warning:

i2c /dev entries driver
IBM IIC driver v2.1
**WARNING** I2C adapter driver [IBM IIC] forgot to specify physical
device; fix it!
ibm-iic0: using standard (100 kHz) mode

Hmm.. I solved it with the following patch, but I don t know if this is
the right way.
