[U-Boot-Users] Using a second I2C interface

[Ben Warren]

Marc,

I'm going to implement something similar to what you've suggested, but
like this:

iprobe <chip>[.1, .2]...

instead of

iprobe[.1, .2] <chip> ...

This 2-controller support will be conditionally compiled if
CONFIG_I2C_2_CTRLS is defined.  I should have some code to share this
afternoon.

regards,
Ben
