I understand that you rae using the CPM implementation of the driver?

You are aware of the differences between  MPC885  and  other  (older)
processors  of  the  MPC8xx family (like MPC860), aren't you? Did you
modify the I2C driver accordingly (especially  the  handling  of  the
iic_rpbase filed in the parameter RAM) ?

Is it really displaying exactly such a row of dots ?

It's normal that the ip[robe command takes very  long  with  the  CPM
implementation; is there any good reason for not using soft-I2C?

Did you search the mailing list archive?
